Although sonography is widely used to detect these abnormalities and is thought to be sensitive for hemorrhages and the later cystic stages of periventricular leukomalacia, its sensitivity for the more acute phase of periventricular leukomalacia remains to ...

In this study, we analyzed the time-depended scenario of stress response cascade preceding and accompanying brain hemorrhages in newborn rats using an interdisciplinary approach based on: a morphological analysis of brain tissues, coherent-domain optical technologies for visualization of the cerebral blood flow, monitoring of the cerebral oxygenation and the deformability of red blood cells (RB...

Cranial CT features of two patients with intracerebral hemorrhages in the setting of sepsis and disseminated intravascular coagulation are reported. Multiple predominantly subcortical hemorrhages were seen. This pattern of cerebral hemorrhage should raise suspicion of disseminated intravascular coagulation as an underlying cause.
