[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the effect of cervical perivascular sympathectomy on brain function in children with cerebral palsy by using resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI).Materials and Methods: Twenty-one children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy underwent routine MRI and rs-fMRI scanning before and after operation. Data processing assistant for rs-fMRI (DPARSF) software package was used to process. Paired sample t-test was performed to compare the differences of amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) and regional homogeneity (ReHo) values before and after the operation.Results: Compared with pre-operation, increased ALFF and (or) ReHo was found in the multiple brain regions of the affected side, in the normal side, the ALFF increased in cerebellum anterior lobe (P<0.05). Decreased ALFF and (or) ReHo was found in multiple brain regions of the normal side, in the affected side, ALFF and ReHo decreased in superior frontal gyrus.Conclusions: The results of rs-fMRI show that cervical perivascular symphathectomy improve the spontaneous low-frequency oscillation activity of neurons in related areas, and strengthen the functional connection of relevant brain regions.
