Abstract
|
|
|
|
Periventricular leukomalacia is a disorder of white matter injury that is frequently found in premature infants and is the major cause of cerebral palsy. However, only a few cases of periventricular leukomalacia have been reported prenatally. Ultrasound investigation of the periventricular region could provide clues for the prenatal diagnosis and prediction of cerebral palsy. Herein, we report a case of cystic periventricular leukomalacia that was diagnosed prenatally and confirmed postnatally by brain magnetic resonance imaging.
