Abstract:
The aim of our study was to present six cases with cystic changes within the white matter in infant brains and discuss the variants of this type of neuropathological lesions of the developing brain. Two of them exhibited the changes characteristic for cystic leucoencephalopathy. To the others with moderate involvement of gray structures, the term multicystic encephalopathy seems to be more appropriate. The clinical course and the neuropathological features of changes allow to consider them as syndromes characteristic for a given period of brain maturation.
