METHOD A register-linkage follow-up study of 10- to 16-year children with CP (identified in the Danish National Cerebral Palsy Registry, n = 893), and 2627 children without CP, matched by gender and age. Information on MDs was obtained from the National Patient Registry in Denmark and based on ICD-10-codes. Conditional logistic regression was performed in order to compare the prevalence of MDs. RESULTS The prevalence of MDs was significantly higher in children and adolescents with CP (22.4%, CI 19.8-25.2%) compared with controls (6.3%, CI 5.5-7.3%). Intellectual disability was statistically significantly associated with motor function (odds ratio (OR) 4.55, CI 2.81-7.36 for GMFCS levels IV-V compared to GMFCS level I), but there were no statistically significant association between motor function and autism spectrum disorders, ADHD or affective disorders. INTERPRETATION Our findings emphasize that follow-up of children with CP should include screening for both cognitive dysfunction and other mental disorders. The motor function does not predict the risk of other mental disorders than intellectual disability in children and adolescents with CP. BACKGROUND Bilateral optic neuritis (bilON) is a rare clinical presentation often thought to be associated with relapsing disorders such as neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) or multiple sclerosis (MS). OBJECTIVE To characterize the clinical, radiological phenotype and antibody status of children presenting with bilON. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective multicenter study on children with bilON age less then 18 years with a first episode aquired demyelinating syndrome (ADS), cMRI, AQP4- and serum MOG-antibody st
