OBJECTIVES. The aim was to survey the range of cerebral injury and abnormalities of
cerebral development in infants born between 23 and 30 weeks' gestation using serial MRI
scans of the brain from birth, and to correlate those findings with neurodevelopmental
outcome after 18 months corrected age. METHODS. Between January 1997 and November
2000, consecutive infants born at< 30 weeks' gestational age underwent serial MRI brain
scans from birth until term-equivalent age. Infants were monitored after 18 months of age …
