It is quite a challenge to evaluate the nutritional status of children with infantile cerebral palsy. The violation of the growth and development of this category of children has a polyfactorial genesis, and the approach to nutritional correction must be comprehensive. Only a complex solution with a verified algorithm for evaluation of the anthropometric indicators, knowledge of the features of physical development, actual nutrition, body composition and laboratory markers in children with cerebral palsy can reflect the real patient’s nutritional status and help to carry out the necessary correction.
