Vulnerability of the Preterm Brain and Periventricular Leukomalacia

Led By
Neil Friedman, MBChB

Learning Objectives: 

  1. Describe the mechanisms underlying the selective white matter vulnerability of the premature brain to hypoxic-ischemic injury
  2. Discuss the role of the unique vascular supply of the preterm brain and pressure passive circulation to white matter injury
  3. Review the role of pre-oligodendrocytes injury in periventricular leukomalacia
