Abstract
Subpial hemorrhage is a rare intracranial hemorrhage typically described in neonates. We report the first prenatal diagnosis of subpial hemorrhage in a 28-year-old primigravida, defined on fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by its hallmark cortical inward depression ("cortical buckling") and restricted diffusion on the apparent diffusion coefficient map, and later confirmed by autopsy. This case implicates intrinsic fetal factors-rather than birth trauma or neonatal asphyxia-in subpial hemorrhage pathogenesis and highlights the critical role of fetal MRI in distinguishing subpial hemorrhage from other fetal hemorrhages, with important implications for prenatal counseling and perinatal management.
期刊介绍:
Official Journal of the European Society of Pediatric Radiology, the Society for Pediatric Radiology and the Asian and Oceanic Society for Pediatric Radiology
Pediatric Radiology informs its readers of new findings and progress in all areas of pediatric imaging and in related fields. This is achieved by a blend of original papers, complemented by reviews that set out the present state of knowledge in a particular area of the specialty or summarize specific topics in which discussion has led to clear conclusions. Advances in technology, methodology, apparatus and auxiliary equipment are presented, and modifications of standard techniques are described.
Manuscripts submitted for publication must contain a statement to the effect that all human studies have been reviewed by the appropriate ethics committee and have therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in an appropriate version of the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki. It should also be stated clearly in the text that all persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study. Details that might disclose the identity of the subjects under study should be omitted.
