Neonatal leukencephalopathy: A common form of cerebral ischemia

Dieter Schellinger M.D.1, Edward G. Grant M.D.1, and James D. Richardson M.D.1

1 From the Department of Radiology, Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington, D.C.

Hypoxic and ischemic white matter pathology is common in premature infants and in term infants with perinatal asphyxia. Continuous refinements in neonatal care require increased precision in the diagnostic process. This is particularly true for these nonhemorrhagic ischemic changes, since serious neurodevelopmental sequelae often ensue. Sonography has proved itself an extremely useful tool for identifying early white matter changes and subsequent cerebral alterations. It represents the preeminent modality in neonatal neurodiagnosis, today.
