One infant showed diffuse cystic periventricular leukomalacia (c-PVL) that transformed from PVE-III after 2 weeks.
GMH-IVH and CPH were considered as primary injuries, and hydrocephaly, cystic periventricular leukomalacias, widened extracranial space, and subependymal cysts were considered as secondary injuries.
Predictive Value of Cranial Ultrasound for Neurodevelopmental Outcomes of Very Preterm Infants with Brain Injury
In this neonatal ultrasound screening study that is the only available trial in which cranial abnormalities were assessed across the whole range of gestational ages (24-43 weeks gestation), the overall incidence of WMD was 0.02%, 0.02%, and 2.6% for periventricular leukomalacia, porencephaly (cystic periventricular leukomalacia), and enlarged lateral ventricles, respectively [4]; however, only cerebral hemorrhage but not WMD was evaluated.
The various forms of white matter damage, including "lateral ventricle asymmetry," "lateral ventricle enlargement," "lateral ventricle bilateral enlargement" (defined as an enlargement of the lateral ventricle without ventricular asymmetry), "posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus," "diffuse periventricular leukomalacia," and "cystic periventricular leukomalacia (porencephaly)" as observed in individual patients (n = 61) are listed in Table 1.

Periventricular-intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) and white matter injury (WMI), particularly cystic periventricular leukomalacia (cPVL), are major contributors to mortality and long-term morbidity in preterm infants.

Role of cranial ultrasound in high risk neonates in NICU
A major cause is cystic periventricular leukomalacia (cPVL) comprising necrosis and subsequent cyst formation of the periventricular white matter: 60-100% of children with cPVL develop cerebral palsy [4-6].
