  • Title: Hemorrhagic periventricular leukomalacia in the neonate: a real-time ultrasound study.
    Author: Levene MI, Wigglesworth JS, Dubowitz V.
    Journal: Pediatrics; 1983 May; 71(5):794-7. PubMed ID: 6835764.
    Abstract:
    Periventricular leukomalacia is an important complication of hypoperfusion of the brain in immature newborn infants. In a real-time ultrasound study with frequent scanning of 120 infants of birth weight less than 1,501 g, hemorrhagic periventricular leukomalacia was observed in nine (7.5%), and in five of these infants subsequent development of cystic degeneration was noted. The overall incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage in the same population was 48%.
