During the more than five years from January 1984 to June 1989, twenty-four patients with definite or probable cystic periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) were diagnosed by cranial ultrasonography at Mackay Memorial Hospital. The 24 patients were divided into two groups. Group A comprise two boys and four girls who received longitudinal sonographic follow-ups for leukomalacia. Of these six patients, five were premature and all suffered from severe perinatal insults. In each case, sequences of developmental cystic PVL were observed by serially scanning the brain. High echogenicity was discovered during the initial stages (2 to 7 days) in the periventricular area, and cystic formations were observed between the age of 18 and 60 days. Clinically, only one patient developed normally; four had severe motor dysfunction and poor motor development; and one was lost during follow-up, Group B was composed of 18 patients who visited the out-patient clinic for psychomotor retardation evaluation, and were found through ultrasound to have or possibly have cystic PVL formations at various stages. The clinical work-up revealed that 12 had spastic quadriplegia; 2 had hemiplegia; 3 had spastic displegia; and 1 case had hypotonic cerebral palsy. In infants, PVL is considered to be a much more reliable and important prognostic predictor than intraventricular hemorrhage. Consequently, it is crucial that physicians should screen patients at high risk for PVL, especially those with perinatal insults.
