MR Diffusion Changes in the Perimeter of the Lateral Ventricles Demonstrate Periventricular Injury in Post-Hemorrhagic Hydrocephalus of Prematurity

ConclusionHG-IVH and PHH results in aberrant LVP/FOHP microstructure, with prominent abnormalities among the PHH group, most notably in the FOHP. Larger ventricular size was associated with greater magnitude of abnormality. LVP/FOHP dMRI measures may provide valuable biomarkers for future studies directed at improving the management and neurological outcomes of IVH/PHH.
