Sažetak
Objective: 1. To determine the incidence and investigation of structural reorganization after perinatal braindamage; 2. assessment of predictive value of cranial ultrasonography (US) in identification of young infants with neurological impairment; 3. to test the hypothesis of more successful recovery after perinatal brain damage of prematures and/or unilateral lesions due to more favourable potential of brain plasticity. Study design: using US and neurodevelopmental follow-up, we have performed three main long term prospective studies on the selected group of 337 high-risk preterm and term neonates. Conclusion: The results revealed high incidence of IVH in term high-risk infants, which was mainly undiscovered by now. Additionally, to an extent the results reject the presumption on exclusively periventricular brain damage of prematures. We found out very acceptable explanation based on recent neurobiological investigation proposing a new concept of cortical brain damage in preterms.
