Survivors of periventricular or intraventricular hemorrhage and isolated ventricular dilation showed a higher incidence of major developmental problems in the motor areas than matched control subjects in infancy. This effect is still seen, but less evident in early childhood. Problems were mainly related to grades III and IV periventricular or intraventricular hemorrhage and isolated ventricular dilation. The outcome of newborns with grades I and II hemorrhage was benign.

Frontal Paraventricular Cysts: Refined Definitions and Outcomes.

AJNR Am J Neuroradiol

January 2025

From the Division of Neuroradiology, Department of Radiology (M.T.W., A.M., C.A.P.F.A., O.S, E.S.S.), and Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology (N.K.), Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA, USA; Perelman School of Medicine (M.T.W., N.K., E.S.S.), Philadelphia, PA, USA; Division of Neuroradiology, Department of Radiology (C.A.P.F.A), Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, MA, USA; and Harvard Medical School (C.A.P.F.A), Boston, MA, USA.

Background And Purpose: Frontal paraventricular cystic changes have a varied etiology that includes connatal cysts, subependymal pseudocysts, necrosis, and enlarged perivascular spaces. These may be difficult to distinguish by neuroimaging and have a variety of associated prognoses. We aim to refine the neuroimaging definition of frontal horn cysts and correlate it with adverse clinical conditions.

Postoperative fever following neuroendoscopic procedures has been well-documented, yet specific differentiation based on the nature and site of the procedure remains lacking. Given the anatomical involvement of the hypothalamus in temperature regulation, we propose that endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) may have a distinct impact on postoperative fever. This study aims to investigate this phenomenon.

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease, with its own clinical, radiological and histopathological characteristics, which mainly affects premature newborns, 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 newborns, 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.

Introduction Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among preterm infants, necessitating effective treatment strategies. This study compared the efficacy of Beractant (SURVANTA®) to Poractant alfa (CUROSURF®) in treating RDS in preterm infants admitted to Tawam Hospital in the UAE. Methodology This retrospective study included preterm infants from 23+0 to 36+6 weeks of gestation with a diagnosis of RDS and treatment by Beractant or Poractant alfa within 48 hours of life between January 2020 and March 2023.
