BACKGROUND: To determine whether restricted diffusion of the callosal splenium is specific for seizure activity in neonates.
METHODS: We performed a retrospective chart review of 123 neonates who had a diagnosis of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) who underwent therapeutic cooling and had magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within the first 10 days of life. The regions examined for injury include the callosal splenium, cortex, deep gray matter, and subcortical white matter. Neurodevelopmental outcomes were secondarily assessed using the Bayley Scales of Infant Development at 12 to 18 months of age and > 18 months of age. APGAR scores and pH, two important markers of hypoxia/ischemia and encephalopathy, were also analyzed in relation to these outcomes.
RESULTS: Approximately 41% of the neonates had at least one abnormal region on brain MRI, and 21% had abnormal signal in the splenium. Clinical and/or electrographic seizures were documented in 32%. Changes in the splenium had a sensitivity of 54%, specificity of 94%, and positive predictive value of 81% for seizure presence. The presence of seizures and splenium lesion was associated poor developmental outcomes at 12 to 18 months of age. APGAR scores at 10 minutes, but not lowest pH was associated with splenial changes.
CONCLUSIONS: Restricted diffusion of the callosal splenium is specific for recent seizures in neonates with HIE. Seizures and splenial lesion represent risk factors for poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. Child neurologists and neonatologists should consider splenial signal abnormality in their assessment of neonates at risk for seizures and counsel families about likely outcomes accordingly.
