Neonatal Brain MRI: Periventricular Germinal Matrix Mimicking Hypoxic-ischemic White Matter Injuries
The presence of frontal periventricular gray matter observed in early neonatal MRIs, without decreased ADC values or shortened T1 signal, is developmental, reflecting a late maturation phase. Careful interpretation of MRI characteristics, including diffusion, T1, and T2 signal intensities, is necessary before attributing these findings to hypoxic-ischemic white matter injury.
