만삭아에서 산전진단된 낭종성 뇌실주위백질연화증

초록

Periventricular leukomalacia is a disorder of white matter injury that is frequently found in premature infants and is the major cause of cerebral palsy. However, only a few cases of periventricular leukomalacia have been reported prenatally. Ultrasound investigation of the periventricular region could provide clues for the prenatal diagnosis and prediction of cerebral palsy. Herein,we report a case of cystic periventricular leukomalacia that was diagnosed prenatally and confi rmed postnatally by brain magnetic resonance imaging.
