Patterns of damage in the mature neonatal brain can be subdivided into focal, multifocal
and diffuse. The main cause of diffuse brain damage in the term newborn is hypoxic–ischaemic …

In the last few years magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has expanded its diagnostic capability
in the evaluation of fetal brain. Starting from the 18th to 20th gestational weeks, MRI can …

Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS) is a genetically determined early onset encephalopathy
characterized by cerebral calcification, leukodystrophy, and increased expression of …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Diffusion-weighted MR imaging studies of normal brain
development have focused on premature babies who were free of focal lesions on …

Purpose To assess the diagnostic and prognostic value of fetal cerebral magnetic resonance
(MR) imaging of congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in comparison with that of …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: MR imaging is the method of choice for assessment in
vivo of the development of myelination of the human central nervous system. During the first …

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 …

Background Chiari malformation type 1 (CM1) is a rare condition where agreed classification
and treatment are still missing. The goal of this study is to achieve a consensus on the …

The possibility of detecting acute hypoxic‐ischemic brain lesions by prenatal magnetic
resonance imaging or ultrasound is low. We present a case of a fetus with a vein of Galen …

Objective Ventriculomegaly (VM) is the most common brain anomaly in prenatal ultrasound (US)
diagnosis. There is a general trend to perform fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) …
