Insult to developing neonatal brain can significantly impair motor, cognitive, language and behavioral functions. MR imaging is an indispensable investigation for the evaluation of neonatal encephalopathy due to its high sensitivity, specificity and prognostic utility. MRI with its recent advancements can yield valuable information on morphology, neuronal connectivity, structural and functional architecture of gray and white matter. Read More

Neonatal intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) represents a significant challenge in perinatal neuroimaging due to its variable etiology, presentation, and long-term impact on neurodevelopmental outcomes. This pictorial review aims to provide a comprehensive review of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics of hemorrhagic lesions in the neonatal brain. This includes detailing the appearance and evolution of blood products in neonates, the familiar sites and etiologies of ICH, and how these findings differ between preterm and term infants. The presentation will also address the unique imaging features of hemorrhagic lesions in the immature brain and discuss their neurodevelopmental outcomes.
Key objectives include:
1. Explore the typical MRI appearances of blood products at different stages of a neonatal brain hemorrhage..
2. Analyze the evolution of parenchymal and extra-axial hemorrhages, noting differences in imaging findings based on gestational age.
3. Understand the common causes of neonatal ICH, including perinatal trauma, hypoxic injury, and clotting disorders, and their multifactorial nature.
4. Discuss the neurodevelopmental implications of neonatal ICH, including the potential for impaired outcomes related to the location and size of hemorrhagic lesions.

This abstract emphasizes the critical role of early and accurate imaging in diagnosing and managing neonatal hemorrhagic lesions, contributing to improved outcomes in affected infants. Read More

Advances in Neonatal Intensive Care have led to substantial improvement in survival of preterm infants of extremely low gestational age (ELGA) between 22+0 and 23+6 weeks gestation. ELGA newborns are more susceptible to several complications of prematurity. Recognition of the sonographic features of the normal brain and identification of potential short and long-term complications of these infants is paramount.
High resolution transfontanellar ultrasonography is the baseline “gold standard” of care imaging modality to assess the integrity of the neonatal brain and potential complications encountered in ELGA newborns. Color and spectral Doppler US allows high reliability and precision in the evaluation of the intracranial vasculature.
The purpose of this exhibit is
1. To illustrate a spectrum of the sonographic features of the normal developing brain in ELGA infants.
2. To characterize the sonographic findings of short and long-term brain anatomical complications.
3. To describe common pitfalls when imaging these infants. Read More
