Periventricular Leukomalacia is Decreasing in Japan
Pediatric Neurology, 2012Periventricular leukomalacia is recognized as the leading cause of cerebral palsy in preterm infants. To clarify the prevalence of periventricular leukomalacia and cerebral palsy in Japan, a nationwide survey was performed. The prevalence of periventricular leukomalacia in the group of surviving preterm infants of gestational ages less than 33 weeks ...

Periventricular leukomalacia associated with hypocarbia
Pediatrics International, 1996AbstractWe here report a case of periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) associated with hypocarbia which remained even after extubation. The patient had no risk factors affecting PVL development other than hypocarbia. We consider that the irregular tachypnea which remained after extubation might be attributable to overdriving of ventilation of central ...

We review the frequency and distribution of periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) in consecutive neonatal autopsies in a complete 12-month period. Periventricular leukomalacia occurred in 88% of the high-risk infants. The demographic factors that define risk are a birth weight between 900 and 2,200 g and a survival of six days or more.

Doppler Ultrasound and Periventricular Leukomalacia
Pediatrics, 2006Periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) seems to be the most important determinant of neurologic morbidity seen in preterm infants who survive the neonatal period. Although the cystic form, with focal necrotic lesions, is usually associated with the development of cerebral palsy (CP) in infancy, the more diffuse form, which is not well visualized with ...

PERIVENTRICULAR LEUKOMALACIA AND WEST SYNDROME
Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 1996SUMMARYThe authors studied the clinical course and electroencephalograms (ÉEGs) of 27 patients with periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), to investigate the relation betwéen PVL and West syndrome. Seven of the 27 patients with PVL developed WS; in all seven the PVL was severe. Bilateral parieto‐occipital dominant irregular polyspike‐and‐wave (PO‐polySpW)

Intrauterine Tachycardia and Periventricular Leukomalacia
American Journal of Perinatology, 2008We describe a preterm infant of 32 weeks' gestation with hydrops fetalis due to intrauterine supraventricular tachycardia. On the second day of life, cranial ultrasound showed a mainly right-sided periventricular leukomalacia already with porencephalic cysts. These findings were confirmed by autopsy.

Neonatal network : NN, 1992
Serial ultrasound examinations in the preterm infant have documented a strong predictive relationship between PVL and adverse neurologic sequelae, particularly cerebral palsy. Good obstetric management with carefully timed intervention as well as prevention of hypoxic-ischemic episodes postnatally may prevent PVL.
