Infant Clinical Characteristicsa

Infant GA, wk CA at TMS Assessment Neuroradiology Findings GMA Findings Clinical Motor Outcomes
1 31 13 wk Bilateral parieto-occipital cystic PVL Absent fidgety movements Spastic QCP
2b 36 12 mo Left parietal encephalomalacic cleft, similar but milder cleft on right parietal vertex; hemosiderin deposits in left temporal, posterior left frontal, and left parietal lobes Fidgety movements No observable motor impairments, no CP diagnosis
3 26 18 wk Bilateral cystic PVL, ex vacuo dilatation of the lateral and third ventricles; left thinning of parietal and occipital lobes Absent fidgety movements Spastic QCP
4 22 9 mo Bilateral cerebellar hemorrhages, ex vacuo dilatation of the fourth ventricle Too old at exam Gross motor delays, DEA = 3 mo 2 d; no CP diagnosis
5 39 10 mo Extensive bilateral ischemia in the right parietal, occipital, temporal, and posterior frontal lobes; BG and Thal; and in left parietal, posterior temporal, posterior occipital, and frontal lobes Too old at exam HCP, left upper and lower limb impairment, DEA = 4 mo
6 41 12 mo Gliosis and encephalomalacia along the right paracentral region, corona radiata, centrum semiovale, and PLIC Too old at exam HCP, left upper limb impairment, DEA = 10 mo

a BG = basal ganglia; CA = corrected age; CP = cerebral palsy; DEA = developmental equivalent age from Bayley-III fine motor subscale; GA = gestational age; GMA = General Movements Assessment; HCP = hemiplegic cerebral palsy; PLIC = posterior limb of internal capsule; PVL = periventricular leukomalacia; QCP = quadriplegic cerebral palsy; Thal = thalamus; TMS = transcranial magnetic stimulation.

b Infant had prior GMA at age CA 13 wk. Centrally acting medications: Infant 3: amlodipine, clonidine, valium, gabapentin, melatonin; Infant 5: phenobarbital.
