Nystagmus in periventricular leucomalacia.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Periventricular leucomalacia (PVL) is a lesion in the immature brain involving the optic radiation. Children with PVL have visual problems including crowding, visual field defects, strabismus, and visual perceptual/cognitive deficits, together with nystagmus. They often have optic nerve hypoplasia seen either as small discs or as large cupping of normal sized optic discs. This s...
متن کاملPeriventricular leucomalacia in neonates. Complications and sequelae.

The lesion was first described by Virchow in 1867; and was reemphasized and named periventricular leucomalacia by Banker and Larroche (1962) who described 51 cases and reviewed the published cases. This unusual site for cerebral infarction occurs in the watershed are...
متن کاملClinical risk factors and periventricular leucomalacia.
Two hundred infants of below 1501 g at birth were regularly examined with real time ultrasound using a 7.5 MHz transducer. Abnormalities were categorized as periventricular haemorrhage (PVH) (n = 107) or periventricular leucomalacia (PVL), with or without PVH (n = 52). Of the group with PVL, 25 had the appearances of prolonged flare without cavitation. Prospective assessments of up to 50 potent...
متن کاملPeriventricular leucomalacia and neurodevelopmental outcome in preterm infants.
During an 18 month period, 120 preterm infants of 34 weeks' gestation or less were prospectively examined for periventricular leucomalacia (PVL) by cerebral ultrasound. Neurological and developmental assessment was carried out at 18 months of age corrected for prematurity in 82 surviving neonates. The developmental outcome (Griffiths development quotient) was above 80 and similar in infants wit...
متن کاملPeriventricular leucomalacia and intraventricular haemorrhage in the preterm neonate.
Two hundred very low birthweight infants were prospectively scanned to ascertain the incidence of periventricular leucomalacia (PVL) and haemorrhage. Before collection of data, clear definitions of ultrasound abnormalities believed to represent PVL and intraventricular haemorrhage were described. These referred to small and moderate intraventricular haemorrhage, paenchymal haemorrhage, and PVL,...
