Asymmetrical Myelination of the Posterior Limb of the Internal Capsule (PLIC):Aan Early Predictor of Hemiplegia

Abstract 2007 Poster Session II, Sunday, 5/2 (poster 218)

An IVH associated with unilateral parenchymal involvement (PI) carries a high risk of the subsequent development of a hemiplegia. About one third of the cases however, have no neurological sequelae (Neuropediatrics 1998;29:180-88). We tested the hypothesis whether asymmetrical myelination of the PLIC on MRI, in newborn infants with an IVH with PI, would be a good predictor for future development of a hemiplegia.
