Nosology Lesions of the White Matter of the Brain in Newborns and Young Children

Abstract

Important problem of children's neurology is development of a nosology of lesions of the white matter of the brain at newborn children. It is primarily about such diverse lesions as Periventricular Leukomalacia (PVL), Diffuse Leukomalacia (DFL), Subcortical Leukomalacia (SL), Telentsefalic Gliosis (TG; synonyms: Perinatal Telentsefalic Leukoencephalopathy), Periventricular Hemorrhagic Infarction (PHI) and Multicystic Leukomalacia. All lesions have their own characteristics in the etiology, pathogenesis and clinic, which are not sufficiently developed [1].
