Motor pathway injury in patients with periventricular leucomalacia and spastic diplegia.
Periventricular leucomalacia has long been investigated as a leading cause of motor and cognitive dysfunction in patients with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. However, patients with periventricular leucomalacia on conventional magnetic resonance imaging do not always have motor dysfunction and preterm children without neurological abnormalities may have periventricular leucomalacia. In additio...

Background: spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (D-CP) is frequently related to periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), which usually affects the descending motor fibers of the association cortex and association fibers of the visual, auditory and somesthesic functions. Aim: to verify the performance of children with D-CP regarding their psycholinguistic skills. Method: participants were eight individua...
متن کاملNystagmus 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.
Periventricular leucomalacia is the term used to describe cerebral infarctions occurring near the lateral ventricles in neonates. 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...
