Germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage (GMH-IVH) in the fetus is very rare and the role of thrombophilia in its pathogenesis is unclear. We report on the prenatal diagnosis by magnetic resonance imaging of GMH-IVH in a 24-week fetus. The newborn presented posthemorrhagic ventriculomegaly and was found to be heterozygous for two...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Different and specific MR imaging patterns of lesions involving WM are widely defined in neonatal encephalopathy. The aim of this study was to describe a novel MR imaging pattern of damage characterized by the abnormal prominence of DMVs in premature and full-term neonates. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-one (11 premature...

Introduction: Early white matter (WM) injury affects brain maturation in preterm infants as revealed by diffusion tensor imaging and volumetric magnetic resonance (MR) imaging at term postmenstrual age (PMA). The aim of the study was to assess quantitatively brain maturation in preterm infants with and without milder forms of WM damage...

Background: Late preterm infants are the most represented premature babies. They are exposed to a wide spectrum of brain lesions which are often clinically silent, supporting a possible role of cerebral ultrasound screening. Aim of the study is to describe the pattern of cranial ultrasound abnormalities in late preterm infants and to define the...

Malformations of cortical development are a group of rare disorders commonly manifesting with developmental delay, cerebral palsy or seizures. The neurological outcome is extremely variable depending on the type, extent and severity of the malformation and the involved genetic pathways of brain development. Neuroimaging plays an essential role...

Objectives: We investigated whether prenatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within 26 weeks of gestation (GW) may predict the fate of isolated upward rotation of the cerebellar vermis (URCV). Methods: This retrospective multicentre observational study included foetuses diagnosed with isolated URCV in prenatal MRI performed within 26 GW....

Objective: To formulate a classification system for foetal cortical formation abnormalities (CFAs) based on in utero magnetic resonance (iuMR) appearances and trial it in 356 cases. Methods: This retrospective study included all cases of foetal CFA diagnosed between 2000 and 2017 from seven centres in Italy and UK. All of the studies were...
