Background: High prevalence of abnormal cerebral MRI findings as well as major and minor motor, perceptual and cognitive impairments has been reported in very low birth weight (VLBW) children.
Aim: To investigate whether cerebral MRI pathology relates to different types of neuroimpairments in adolescents with VLBW.
Methods: At age 15, 55 adolescents with birth weight < or = 1500 g (VLBW) were examined.
