Pontine hypoplasia in children with periventricular leukomalacia.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The brain stem in patients with periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) appears smaller than normal on MR imaging, but few reports have described this feature, and the number of patients has been relatively small. The present study was conducted to examine the hypothesis that the pons in patients with PVL is smaller than normal. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using MR imaging, we exa...
متن کاملNeurodevelopmental outcome in children with periventricular leukomalacia.
The purpose of this study was to question the correlation of different grades of periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) and subsequent neurodevelopmental outcome. In a prospective study we followed 52 preterm infants. Infants were divided into three groups according to their cranial ultrasound findings of PVL (De Vries classification). Seventeen children had PVL 1, 20 children had PVL 2, and 15 chi...
متن کاملFactors associated with epilepsy in children with periventricular leukomalacia.
Children with cerebral palsy associated with periventricular leukomalacia frequently develop unprovoked epileptic seizures. This article reports an analysis of risk factors for epilepsy in children with radiologically confirmed periventricular leukomalacia. This cohort was screened for epilepsy and for an array of clinical and demographic factors. Of 154 subjects with radiologically confirmed p...
متن کاملLinear normalization of MR brain images in pediatric patients with periventricular leukomalacia.
The feasibility of linear normalization of child brain images with structural abnormalities due to periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) was assessed in terms of success rate and accuracy of the normalization algorithm. Ten T1-weighted brain images from healthy adult subject and 51 from children (4-11 years of age) were linearly transformed to achieve spatial registration with the standard MNI bra...
متن کاملThe near-term (late preterm) human brain and risk for periventricular leukomalacia: a review.
Historically the major focus in neonatal neurology has been on brain injury in premature infants born less than 30 gestational weeks. This focus reflects the urgent need to improve the widely recognized poor neurological outcomes that occur in these infants. The most common underlying substrate of cerebral palsy in these premature infants is periventricular leukomalacia (PVL). Nevertheless, PVL...
