Abstract

Objective: This study was designed to investigate the relationship between the diagnosis of cerebral palsy and neonatal cranial USG, cranial MRI and brainstem evoked potentials in the first three months of preterm infants. Material and Methods: 57 preterm infants, 26-36 weeks gestation were evaluated between 2002 and 2004. Neonatal cranial USG was performed to all of patients. Cranial MRI was performed to 13 of 57 patients at 3.5th month. BAER (brain stem auditory evoked response) was performed to all of patients at 2.5th month and visual evoked potentials was performed 37 of 57 patients at 2.5th month. Results: Cerebral palsy was diagnosed in 6 of 57 patients (%10.5). VEP latencies was 4 times more abnormal in the cerebral palsy group. Two patients who had periventricular leukomalacia on cranial MRI were diagnosed as cerebral palsy during follow-up. Only one patient having grade 2 intraventricular hemorrhage on neonatal USG was diagnosed as CP later on follow up. Conclusion: Depending on these results; we concluded that neonatal cranial USG, cranial MRI and visuel evoked potentials in first three months of preterm infants may predict the diagnosis of CP.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmamızda preterm bebeklerde neonatal dönemde yapılan kraniyal USG, ilk 3 ayda yapılan kraniyal manyetik rezonans görüntülemesi (MRG) ve beyin sapı uyarılmış potansiyelleri ile Serebral Palsi (SP) gelişimi arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: 2002-2005 yılları arasında AÜTF Neonatoloji Bölümü tarafından izlenmiş olan gestasyon yaşları 26-36 hafta arasında değişen, 32'si kız, 25'i erkek toplam 57 preterm bebek incelendi. Hastaların hepsine neonatal dönemde kraniyal USG, 57 hastanın 13 tanesine ortalama 3,5. ayda kraniyal MRG, 57 hastanın hepsine ortalama 2.5. ayda BAER (işitsel uyarılmış potansiyeller) ve 57 hastanın 37 tanesine ortalama 2.5. ayda VEP (görsel uyarılmış potansiyeller) yapıldı. Bulgular: Elliyedi hastanın 6 tanesine (%10.5) SP tanısı konuldu. Serebral Palsili hasta grubunda VEP latanslarının bozuk olma oranı 4 kat fazla idi. Kraniyal MRG ile periventriküler lökomalazi (PVL) saptanan hastaların ikisine de takipte SP tanısı konuldu. Neonatal kraniyal USG ile 57 hastanın 6 tanesinde kraniyal USG ile intraventriküler hemoraji saptandı. 6 hastanın 5 tanesinde ventriküler kanama grade 1 düzeyinde iken sadece 1 tanesinde grade 2 düzeyinde idi. Grade 2 düzeyinde kanama saptanan bu hastaya da takipte SP tanısı konuldu. Sonuç: Sonuç olarak preterm bebeklerde neonatal dönemdeki USG ve ilk 3 aydaki kraniyal görüntüleme ve görsel uyarılmış potansiyellerinin denetlenmesi ilerideki SP gelişme riskini belirlemeye ve rehabilitasyon programlarının erken başlatılmasına yardımcı olabilir.
