Congenital Brain Malformations in the Neonatal and Early Infancy Period SEMINARS IN ULTRASOUND CT AND MRI Kim, C., Yeom, K. W., Iv, M. 2015; 36 (2): 97-119

Abstract

Congenital brain malformations are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in pediatric patients who are younger than 2 years. Optimization of patient care requires accurate diagnosis, which can be challenging as congenital brain malformations include an extensive variety of anomalies. Radiologic imaging helps to identify the malformations and to guide management. Understanding radiologic findings necessitates knowledge of central nervous system embryogenesis. This review discusses the imaging of congenital brain malformations encountered in patients who are younger than 2 years in the context of brain development.
