Prenatal Factors Associated with Postnatal Brain Injury in Infants with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia

ORIGINAL RESEARCH PEDIATRICS Prenatal Factors Associated with Postnatal Brain Injury in Infants with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia X R. Radhakrishnan, X S.L. Merhar, X W. Su, X B. Zhang, X P. Burns, X F.Y. Lim, and X B.M. Kline-Fath ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Approximately 60% of infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia have evidence of brain injury on postnatal MR imaging. It is unclear whether any brain injury is present before birth. In this study, we evaluated fetal MR imaging findings of brain injury and the association of congenital diaphragmatic hernia severity with postnatal brain injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fetal MR imaging and postnatal brain MR imaging were retrospectively evaluated in 36 cases of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (from 2009 to 2014) by 2 pediatric neuroradiologists. Brain injury on postnatal MR imaging and brain injury and congenital diaphragmatic hernia severity on fetal MR imaging were recorded. Correlations between brain abnormalities on fetal and postnatal brain MR imaging were analyzed. Postnatal brain injury findings correlating with the severity of congenital diaphragmatic hernia were also assessed. RESULTS: On fetal MR imaging, enlarged extra-axial spaces (61%), venous sinus distention (21%), and ventriculomegaly (6%) were identified.
