porencephaly/hypoxia

A 13 year old boy with mental retardation, hemiatrophy and left hemiplegia, right hemifacial microsomia and transverse digital amputations is reported. He is moderately mentally retarded, experiences grand mal seizures and has evidence of a porencephalic cyst in the right frontotemporal region on CT

OBJECTIVE This work was undertaken to determine to what degree long-term neurofunctional outcome of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic (HI) brain injury in mice correlates with anatomical extent of cerebral damage assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histopathology. METHODS On postnatal day 7,

Sleep EEG patterns in 23 mentally retarded children with cerebral palsy (CP) (from 4 months to 5 years of age) and 39 reference mentally retarded children of no abnormality with the exception of psychomotor retardation (from 4 months to 12 years of age) were studied throughout nocturnal sleep, and

BACKGROUND Is it possible to identify patients with cerebral palsy (CP) with postnatal ultrasound scan? Which risk factors are associated with an increased risk of CP?. METHODS The data of 37 children with CP, who were sonographically investigated during the first 24 hours of life were analyzed

Rats with huge porencephaly occupying the left cerebral hemisphere were used for this study. Porencephaly was caused experimentally by the ligation of the left common carotid artery and subsequent hypoxic exposure at the age of 7 days. A large band of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) positive fibers was

This paper reviews 75 infants with myelomeningocele treated either at birth or from an early age at Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital, for whom complete records and psychometric testing (IQ) are available (including complete summaries from referring hospitals). Three groups are compared: (1)

This study was undertaken to determine: (a) the duration of hypoxia required to produce brain damage in immature rats with unilateral carotid artery ligation (Levine technique); (b) the regions of immature brain most vulnerable to hypoxia-ischemia (HI); and (c) the neuropathology of the remote HI
