Multiple large gliotic areas with cystic encephalomalacia, foci of hemorrhage and thinned out cortex in bilateral cerebral hemispheres causing ex-vacuo dilatation of bilateral lateral ventricles, likely multicystic encephalomalacia.
Atrophy with hyperintensity involving superior aspects of cerebellar hemispheres and vermis.
Case Discussion
Above findings suggest likelihood of sequelae of hypoxic/ischemic insult due to birth asphyxia. The above case also has cerebellar involvement which can be seen in profound insult.
