CRYPTORCHIDISM AND CEREBRAL PALSY IN INFANCY

Etiology and clinical picture of cryptorchidism are given in an introductory review. Special regard is paid to the high frequency of the phenomenon. Using a group of 87 cerebral palsied male children as an example, a surprisingly high number of cases of cryptorchidism are found in cases of cerebral palsy. The question of a probable connexion of these findings with known developmental parameters in discussed. © 1969 Springer-Verlag.
