Area of Science:

  • Neonatal neurology
  • Pediatric neurosurgery
  • Perinatal medicine

Context:

  • Preterm neonates are highly susceptible to cerebrovascular disorders (CVD).
  • CVD in neonates can lead to severe neurological deficits and long-term disability.
  • Understanding the specific types of neonatal CVD is essential for timely intervention.

Purpose:

  • To comprehensively review the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnostic methods, and management strategies for CVD in preterm neonates.
  • To highlight the prevalence and impact of various neonatal cerebrovascular events, including germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage (GM-IVH) and periventricular leukomalacia (PVL).
  • To consolidate current knowledge on the diagnosis and prophylactic treatment of neonatal CVD.

Summary:

  • Germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage (GM-IVH) and periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) are the most frequent and significant CVD in preterm infants.

  • Cerebellar hemorrhage and other ischemic lesions also contribute to neonatal cerebrovascular pathology.
  • Diagnostic tools include neuroimaging (ultrasound, CT, MRI) and electroencephalography, with treatment primarily focused on prophylaxis.

    • Impact:

    • CVD in preterm neonates are a major cause of childhood neurological disease, including cerebral palsy and cognitive impairments.
    • Effective management and prophylactic strategies can mitigate the severity of neurological damage.
    • This review provides a foundation for further research and clinical practice guidelines in neonatal neurology.
