Aim: Punctate white matter lesions (PWML) are frequently detected in preterm infants undergoing brain MRI at term equivalent age (TEA). The aims of this study were to assess prevalence of PWML and to identify risk factors for PWML in VLBW infants. Methods: Brain MRI scans obtained at TEA and clinical charts of a consecutive sample of very low...
