BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Until now, most studies of @entity1545 related to term neonatal @entity75 have focused on the cerebrum and ignored the cerebellum. We sought to evaluate whether @entity76 occurs in term asphyxiated neonates. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Asphyxiated neonates treated with @entity2332 were enrolled prospectively. Severity of @entity1545 in the cerebrum was scored on each MR imaging obtained during the first month of life; @entity76 was recorded when mentioned in the imaging or autopsy report. In addition, for some of the neonates, the ADC and fractional anisotropy were measured in 4 regions of interest in the cerebellum. RESULTS: One hundred seventy-two asphyxiated neonates met the criteria for @entity2332 . @entity76 was visible only on conventional imaging of 4% of the neonates for whom brain imaging was available, but it was reported in the autopsy report of 72% of the neonates who died. In addition, 41 of the asphyxiated neonates had a total of 84 ADC and fractional anisotropy maps. Neonates with @entity1545 described only in the cerebrum demonstrated ADC and fractional anisotropy changes similar to those of the neonates with @entity1545 in the cerebrum and cerebellum--increased ADC around day 10 of life and decreased fractional anisotropy on day 2-3 of life, around day 10 of life, and around 1 month of age. CONCLUSIONS: The cerebellum may be injured in term neonates after @entity600 . These @entity76 are only rarely visible on conventional imaging, but advanced neuroimaging techniques may help to identify them.
