Abstract:
The number of preterm neonates appears to remain high in China in recent years.These subjects are vulnerable to pathogenic factors and have brain lesions easily.Punctate white matter lesions(PWML)are very common(the incidence＞20%).The degeneration in the brain associated with PWML is harmful to the outcomes and hard to be detected.Early diagnosis and prediction of PWML are focuses for pediatric researchers.This paper describes the change patterns and spatial distributions associated with PWML.The factors of individual differences and development during the diagnosis and prognosis are discussed as well.Finally,the paper points out the core problems in developmental brain template construction,individualized diagnosis,and early prediction.
