The aims of this paper were to define (1) criteria of cerebral palsy; (2) classification of cerebral palsy; (3) etiology, neuroimaging, and epidemiology of cerebral palsy; (4) different kinds of treatments of cerebral palsy. Data were drawn from an international survey of PUBMED (1994-2014) and CNKI (1994-2014). An expert panel used a consensus building technique. The10-point Jadad scale was used to assess the quality of the trials based on the following items, including allocation sequence generation, randomization concealment, methods of blinding, and descriptions of withdrawals and dropouts. Our clinical experience was also summarized. Below is a summary. (1) Further work is warranted to reach agreement for the classification of cerebral palsy. (2) A worldwide prevalence of 1.5-4.0 per 1 000 live births, with an average lifetime cost of 1 million dollars per person in the United States, while it is 1.8-6.0 per 1000 live births in China. (3) Comparison of clinical efficacy of different treatments. In this review, the current advances in different kind of treatments of brain injury are discussed with specific relevance to cerebral palsy.

Objective:To measure the clivo-axial angle (CAA)and cervicomedullary angle (CMA)in upper cervical deformity patients who underwent computer-assisted posterior upper cervical reduction and fixation surgery,and analyze their correlation.Methods:In the study,25 patients with symptomatic upper cervical deformity were chosen for measurement of preoperative and postoperative CMA and CAA using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)and intraoperative C-arm.The angle between the clivus plane and the straight line parallel to that of the posterior margin of the C2 vertebral body was defined as CAA;moreover,the angle between the straight line parallel to the ventral side of the cervical spinal cord and the straight line parallel to that of the ventral side of the medulla oblongata was defined as CMA.Two ex-perienced spinal surgeons performed the measurements.The CAA and CMA were measured three times, and the mean value was considered as the result.Results:Analyses of the CAA and CMA were per-formed with Wilcoxon rank test,which showed that there was consistency between the CAAs measured with MRI and intraoperative C-arm.The result showed that the postoperative CAA and CMA increased significantly compared with preoperation (P<0.001).Through Spearman rank correlation analysis,the preoperative CAA was positively correlative with the CMA (r=0.902,P<0.001),and so was the post-operative CAA (r=0.921,P<0.001).Conclusion:Preoperative and postoperative CAA in upper cer-vical deformity patients is significantly correlative with preoperative and postoperative CMA.CAA can be measured during surgery using intraoperative CT or C-arm based three-dimension navigation,and may predict the patient’s CMA,which cannot be measured during operation,but is essential for evaluating the decompression and reduction of the spinal cord.

One 51 years old man was admitted to the rheumatology department with a history of prominent eyes, headache and blurred vision for half year. The main manifestations included retrobulbar inflammatory pseudotumor and retroperitoneal fibrosis. He was initially diagnosed as granulomatosis with polyangiitis. Prednisone and cyclophosphamide were administrated and effective. New mass of dura mater and osteosclerosis presented during follow up. Finally Erdheim Chester disease(ECD) was diagnosed by biopsy and pathological examination. Vemurafenib, a v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogenes homolog B1 (BRAF) inhibitor, 480 mg was given twice a day. The patient′s condition is stable and still in follow-up. Although ECD is a rare histiocytosis, clinicians should pay attention to its manifestations and differential diagnoses.
