3 Figure 2 White matter injury on MRI. (A) Minimal white matter injury in a premature newborn born at 28 weeks gestational age and scanned at 2 weeks of life. The spoiled gradient echo volumetric scan shows a small focus of T1 hyperintensity (arrow) without cavitation in the right parietal periventricular white matter. This newborn also had IVH, a small retrocerebellar subdural hemorrhage (black arrow), and mild ventriculomegaly. (B) Moderate white matter injury in a premature newborn born at 30 weeks gestational age and scanned at 1 week of life. The spoiled gradient echo volumetric scan shows a moderate-sized focus of T1 hyperintensity (measuring > 2 mm involving < 5% of the hemisphere) without cavitation (arrow) in the left posterior periventricular white matter. (C) Severe white matter injuries in a premature newborn born at 30 weeks gestational age and studied at 2 weeks of life. The spoiled gradient echo volumetric scan demonstrates confluent areas of T1 hyperintensity (arrows) without cavitation throughout the periventricular white matter of both cerebral hemispheres.
