TI  - Hemodynamics of the posterior cerebral arteries in neonates with periventricular 
      leukomalacia.
PG  - 24-8
AB  - PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cerebral blood flow of the 
      posterior cerebral arteries (PCAs) in neonates in relation to the onset of 
      periventricular leukomalacia (PVL). METHODS: Among 57 low-birth-weight neonates 
      studied, 7 were diagnosed with PVL with cyst formation on sonography and MRI. The 
      mean cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) was measured in all the neonates by 
      Doppler sonography through the posterior fontanel separately in the right and 
      left PCA at days 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 21, 28, 42, 56, and 70 following 
      birth. RESULTS: In the 7 neonates with PVL the mean CBFV in the right PCA was 
      significantly lower than that in neonates without PVL at days 10, 14, 21, 28, 42, 
      56, and 70; the mean CBFV in the left PCA of neonates with PVL was significantly 
      lower than that in those without PVL at days 7, 10, 14, 21, 28, 42, 56, and 70. 
      CBFV measured in neonates without PVL exhibited a gradual increase postnatally. 
      In contrast, CBFV values for neonates with PVL plateaued after day 5 or 7. 
      CONCLUSIONS: The serial measurement of PCA CBFV postnatally may prove useful as a 
      predictor of the development of PVL.
