Structural Brain Abnormalities in Children Born Prematurely: New Detection Methods and Clinical-Pathological Correlates

NCT00153855 · Status: TERMINATED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 50

Last updated 2006-09-08

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of the study is to detect structural brain changes using MRI and to correlate these findings with neurodevelopmental assessments in two-year old children previously enrolled in the NIH sponsored trial of inhaled Nitric Oxide (iNO) for the prevention of Chronic Lung Disease in preterm ventilated infants. It is hypothesized that this imaging will identify children with previously undiagnosed brain abnormalities and that the presence of structural abnormalities will be associated with deficits in motor, cognitive, and neurosensory development.
