Neurodevelopmental outcomes of children with cystic periventriculai leukomalacia / 国际儿科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Cystic periventricular leukomalacia( cPVL) is the main nerve pathological change that affects the long-term neurodevelopment outcome in preterm infants,which may result in cerebral palsy,epilepsy,cogni-tive and audio-visual disorder. cPVL lacks specific symptoms,the diagnosis of cPVL mainly depends on cranial ultrasound,CT and MRI. This review briefly introduces the changes of brain imaging of cPVL and the neurode-velopmental outcomes of cPVL.
