Crossed Pontine Hemiatrophy Associated with Unilateral Cerebellar Hemorrhage in Premature Infants

Abstract: Cerebellar hemorrhage is a complication of extreme prematurity with a significant impact on the neurodevelopmental outcome. It has been shown that cerebellar hemorrhage is associated with a reduction in the anteroposterior diameter of the pons on the midline sagittal plane at term-equivalent age, suggesting that cerebellar injury may impair overall pons development in premature infants. This study stemmed from an incidental observation of crossed pontine hemiatrophy in a preterm infant with a history of unilat… Show more

“…In a previous study, cerebellar atrophy developed after hemorrhages or infarcts with a prevalence of 20–37% in infants with CBH ( 2 , 8 ). In addition, smaller pons was associated with CBH in premature infants in a case series by Parodi et al, which showed that unilateral CBH and crossed pontine hemiatrophy were related ( 30 ). In a MRI study that compared volumetric analysis of in-utero and ex-utero brain of term and preterm infants, volume of cerebellar hemisphere and pons at TEA were smaller in preterm infant than term infants ( 31 ).…”
