What else can I help you with?
What is multiple small hypo densities seen in bilateral fronto-parietal subcortical and periventricular white matter?
Small hypo densities are seen in bilatereral para ventricular region
What could a bilateral periventricular white matter hypodensities in the brain mean?
Bilateral periventricular white matter hypodensities in the brain could indicate a variety of conditions, such as small vessel disease, multiple sclerosis, or leukoaraiosis. These hypodensities may be seen on imaging studies like CT or MRI scans and are typically associated with a disruption in the normal white matter structures. Further evaluation and clinical correlation are necessary to determine the underlying cause and appropriate management of this finding.
What gene is associated with Periventricular heterotopia?
Periventricular heterotopia is associated with abnormalities of the filamin1 gene on the X chromosome.
What link is there between periventricular leukomalacia and cerebral palsy?
More than 60% of all babies who have periventricular leukomalacia will actually develop cerebral palsy , particularly if the periventricular leukomalacia has been accompanied by intraventricular hemorrhage.
What is the ICD-10 code for periventricular white matter lesion?
The ICD-10 code for periventricular white matter lesion is I69.819.
What is the function of the periventricular region?
The periventricular region in the brain contains neural stem cells that can differentiate into various types of neurons and glial cells. These stem cells play a crucial role in neurogenesis and brain repair processes. Additionally, the periventricular region is involved in regulating cerebrospinal fluid production and circulation.
What does diagnosis for periventricular leukomalacia entail?
Periventricular leukomalacia can be diagnosed through cranial ultrasound, which allows the brain to be examined using ultrasound techniques through the soft spots, or fontanelles, in the baby's skull
What types of professionals assist in treatment of periventricular leukomalacia?
Most premature babies are treated by a perinatologist. A pediatric neurologist may be consulted if a baby is suspected of having periventricular leukomalacia or intraventricular bleeding
What is periventricular atrophy?
Periventricular atrophy is a condition characterized by the shrinking or loss of brain tissue around the ventricles, which are fluid-filled spaces in the brain. It is often seen in conditions such as normal aging, vascular dementia, and multiple sclerosis. Symptoms can include cognitive decline, walking difficulties, and mood changes.
Which is correct - bilateral leg or bilateral legs?
Bilateral legs
Do nematodes have radial or bilateral symmetry?
They have bilateral symmetry. Though they are round they don't have radial symmetry
What complications predispose a newborn baby to periventricular leukomalacia?
Low blood oxygen, decreased delivery of oxygen to the body's tissues, and/or decreased flow of oxygen-rich blood to the body's tissues can predispose a newborn baby to periventricular leukomalacia.
