Table 1.
Parameter | Score (points) | ||
---|---|---|---|
0 | 1 | 2 | |
Gyration | Normal | Mildly delayed (≤ 2 weeks) | Delayed (> 2 weeks) |
Opercularization | Normal | Delayed | — |
Temporal lobe asymmetry* | Asymmetrical (R > L) | Symmetrical (R = L) or inverted (L > R) | — |
Hippocampi | Normal | Malrotation (mild to moderate and/or unilateral) | Verticalization (bilateral), reduced volume |
Lamination | Normal | — | Abnormal |
Basal ganglia | Normal | Abnormal | — |
Ventricular size† | Normal (< 10 mm) | 10–14.9 mm | ≥ 15 mm |
Temporal lobe asymmetry described according to Kasprian et al.24; if not assessable (i.e. at later gestational ages (> 32 weeks)), a score of 0 should be given.
Measured at level of atrium; if ventricular size is asymmetrical, larger ventricle should be assessed. L, left; R, right.
