Cystic white matter injury (MRI)

(A) Early in life and (B) term-equivalent-age MRIs show cystic changes consistent with cystic white matter injury or periventricular leukomalacia as well as an area of ischemic infarction in the posterior region. (C) Follow-up brain MRI performed at 8 years of age shows ventriculomegaly, distortion of the posterior horn of the lateral ventricles, and thinning of the white matter, including the corpus callosum, especially in the parieto-occipital lobes.
