leukomalacia (PVL). The ventricular margins are irregular, which is consistent with incorporation <strong>of</strong><br />

the periventricular cysts <strong>of</strong> PVL. Mild ventriculomegaly and loss <strong>of</strong> the periventricular white matter<br />

exists. Courtesy <strong>of</strong> Matthew Omojola, MD.
