Cysts in the periventricular region of the brain were demonstrated by ultrasound in eight of 102 preterm infants (birthweight less than 1501g or less than 34 weeks gestation) during a 14-month period. All eight babies survived, but developed serious neurological problems: five had spastic quadriplegia and three had spastic diplegia. Six had impaired vision and six had delayed speech development, but there was no evidence of impaired hearing. The cysts probably represent the infarcted lesions of periventricular leukomalacia.
在14个月的时间里，对102名早产儿（出生体重低于1501克或孕周小于34周）进行超声检查，发现其中8名婴儿脑室内周围区域有囊肿。所有8名婴儿均存活，但出现了严重的神经问题：5名患有痉挛性四肢瘫痪，3名患有痉挛性双瘫。6名视力受损，6名语言发育迟缓，但没有听力受损的迹象。这些囊肿可能代表脑室周围白质软化的梗死性病变。
