Brain injury in premature infants is of enormous public health importance because of the
large number of such infants who survive with serious neurodevelopmental disability …

The field of neonatal neurology, and specifically its focus on the premature infant, had its
inception in neuropathologic studies. Since then, the development of advanced imaging …

OBJECTIVES. We compared the frequency of behavioral problems in very preterm and term
children at 5 years of age. We hypothesized that behavioral problems would be associated …

Objective The association of chorioamnionitis and noncystic white matter injury, a common
brain injury in premature newborns, remains controversial. Our objectives were to determine …

Prediction of outcome after preterm birth is critical, but remains difficult, particularly in the
early postnatal period. The ability to predict outcome improves parental counseling and …

This book provides a definitive reference work on the developing brain, from conception
through the first year of life. Its purpose is to provide the range of specialists involved in the …

White matter injury (WMI) is the characteristic pattern of brain injury detected on magnetic
resonance imaging in the premature newborn. Focal noncystic WMI is increasingly …

OBJECTIVE: To examine the relationship between very preterm infant neurobehavior at term
and concurrent magnetic resonance-defined cerebral abnormalities. STUDY DESIGN: 168 …

OBJECTIVE. Our goal was to compare the patterns of brain injury detected by computed
tomography, conventional MRI (T1-and T2-weighted sequences), and diffusion-weighted …

Cerebellar injury has been increasingly recognized as a complication of preterm birth, with
decreased cerebellar volumes seen on follow-up neuroimaging. A cohort of 38 preterm …
