PURPOSE: To evaluate the value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the @entity227 following perinatal @entity519 . METHODS: MRI findings of 19 babies with the diagnosis of a perinatal @entity227 ( @entity227 ) were reviewed. Two groups of @entity1 based on gestational age were compared. Babies with a gestational age > or = 34 weeks were included in group 1(n = 8). @entity1 < 34 weeks' gestation were included in group 2(n = 11). All 19 @entity1 underwent MRI. RESULTS: Normal MRI always correlated with better visual outcome, regardless of the gestational age at which the insult occurred. Among @entity1 born at or later than 34 weeks' gestation, a favorable visual recovery occurred in two with normal MRI findings. The presence of @entity1188 or @entity5719 indicated that full visual recovery would not occur. Among @entity1 born before 34 weeks' gestation, the MRI findings were normal in two who had a favorable visual outcome. @entity227 of @entity5719 were helpful in prognosticating the visual outcome. A general delay in the myelination-particularly in the myelination of the optic radiation-was a common finding and until now has not been described in @entity1 with @entity227 routinely. CONCLUSION: MRI's ability to follow the process of myelination may be of predictive value. MRI, therefore, should be obtained in a @entity1 with @entity227 following perinatal @entity519 .
