Symmetrical bithalamic hyperdensities in asphyxiated full-term newborns: an early indicator of status marmoratus
Brain Dev.
1988.
Abstract
Three severely asphyxiated full-term newborns showed tomographic findings of bilateral symmetrical hyperdensities restricted to the thalamic region. All these patients had a strikingly similar poor neurological outcome characterized by dystonia, severe mental retardation and acquired microcephaly. We presume that these bithalamic hyperdensities could be an early predictor of the later status marmoratus.
