Feeding and communication impairments in infants with central grey matter lesions following perinatal hypoxic-ischaemic injury.
Eur J Paediatr Neurol. 2012; (6): 688-96
Basal ganglia and thalamic (BGT) injury is common after acute perinatal hypoxia-ischaemia. Cerebral palsy is the most obvious consequence of BGT injury affecting 70-75% of survivors and is predictable from neonatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However there is no equivalent predictive data for other specific outcomes. Feeding and communication impairments are also common in children following hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) and BGT injury.
