Abstract
The objective of our study was to perform MRI in 2 groups of infants, A) term AGA with neonatal asphyxia (cord blood ph<7.1, 5 min Apgar ≤4, need for CPR at birth and hypoxic encephalopathy) and B) very low birth weight infants (VLBW) with grade III-IV intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) and posthemorrhagic ventriculomegaly requiring shunt insertion, and correlate MRI with neurologic outcome. MRI was performed at 6 mo corrected age with sagittal T1 weighted images and axial T1 and T2 weighted images (± contrast). Neurologic exams were categorized as normal, neuromotor impairment (with no developmental delay) and cerebral palsy (CP) MRI readings and neurologic exams were performed by independent examiners.
