Abstract: Objective To investigate MRI findings and its relationship with clinical grading and prognosis of infant muggy syn-drome (IMS).Methods Twenty five cases of IMS diagnosed newly and nine cases of IMS with follow-up were collected.MRI find-ings were retrospectively analyzed and compared with their clinical data.Results Seven early abnormal signs could be shown on cer-ebral MRI examination.There was no correlation between the clinical grading and three abnormal signs,which were subdural effu-sion,supratentorial cerebral edema and subarachnoid hemorrhage (P >0.05).In contrast,the other four abnormal signs (abnormal signal of subcortex and cortex,diffuse cerebral hemorrhage,basal ganglia and corpus callosum edema or infarction,large area cere-bral infarction)were closely related to the severity of clinical symptom (P <0.05).MRI findings had certain correlation with clinical classification.Conclusion MRI can objectively reflect the serious change of brain damage in IMS,and provide important information for clinical therapy and prognosis.
