The motor disorders cerebral often accompanied by disturbances sensation, perception, cognition, communication behavior, epilepsy, secondary musculoskeletal problem. However, no known study has been found on this aspect. Objective was evaluate ocular defect children with correlate types CP.Methods: Study done Paediatric Neurology unit BSMMU from January 2012 July 2012. One hundred thirty were studied. patients randomly selected who full filled inclusion criteria ophthalmological examination done.Results: Sixty four (64%) CP had pathological finding 36% percent normal finding. Most abnormalities squint (strabismus) (40%) refractive error (36.9%). defects spastic palsy, mainly quadriplegia (34.6%) diplegia (29.2%).Conclusions: Ocular like common associations palsy. Spastic quadriplegic diplegic more defects.
