Periventricular leukomalacia is a form of hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy developing in preterm babies. During the last year among 387 sonographically screened neonates 11 periventricular neonatal leukomalacia cases were found. Analysing their cases authors discuss its sonographic diagnosis and follow up. In the acute stage characteristic triangular shaped area of increased echogenicity appears at the external angle of the lateral ventricles, later regular shaped echo-free areas of cysts appear in that region. The diagnostic and prognostic significance of cranial sonography in periventricular leukomalacia is discussed.

Department of Pediatrics, Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA.
Objective: To characterize the association between maternal ethnicity and infant survival to discharge without major morbidity.
Study Design: This is secondary analysis of a prospective cohort of infants born <27 weeks of gestation at NICHD Neonatal Research Network centers from 2006 through 2020. The primary outcome was survival to discharge without major morbidity (sepsis, necrotizing enterocolitis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia grade 3, intracranial hemorrhage grade ≥3, periventricular leukomalacia, and advanced retinopathy of prematurity).

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease, with its own clinical, radiological, and histopathological characteristics, which mainly affects premature newborns (NBs), resulting from a combination of factors that include immaturity, inflammation, and lung injury, in addition to therapy with mechanical ventilation and exposure to high concentrations of oxygen. However, even with advances in care for critically ill NBs, BPD continues to be a challenge for the care team and family members. This has been identified as one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality due to prematurity and can have significant impacts on the quality of life of the affected patients.

Objective: To compare adverse neonatal outcomes between trial of vaginal delivery and upfront cesarean delivery for singleton infants born at 24 to 28 weeks of gestation.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study that was conducted at a university-affiliated tertiary medical center between 2011 and 2022, involving singleton pregnancies delivered between 24 and 27 weeks of gestation. Participants were divided into two groups based on their intended mode of delivery: a trial of labor (TOL) group and an upfront cesarean delivery (CD) group.
