Risk factors and determinants of neurodevelopmental outcome in cystic periventricular leucomalacia
The aim of the study was to determine risk factors for the development of cystic periventricular leucomalacia (PVL) and to correlate ultrasound findings with neurodevelopmental outcome. By means of a retrospective case-control study (matched for gestational age, birth weight, sex, and year of birth) and a cohort analysis of all preterm infants with ...

Periventricular leucomalacia: a review
Periventricular leucomalacia is a condition that causes lifelong disability and considerable economic burden. It occurs in premature infants of less than 32 weeks gestation due to their unique anatomical features. The white matter of these infants is poorly vascularised and contains oligodendrocyte progenitors (pre-oligodendrocytes), which are ...

AbstractSerial cranial ultrasound scans were performed in 178 preterm Chinese infants (gestation <35 weeks, birthweight <2000 g) to study the incidence, age of onset and associating risk factors of periventricular haemorrhage (PVH), and also the occurrence of post‐haemorrhagic ventricular dilatation and periventricular leucomalacia (PVL).
