Inclusion

  • All infants with confirmed brain injury on MRI at high risk for CP.
  • Particularly, infants with the following brain injuries at risk for CP will be considered on MRI at term equivalent age or within 10 days after birth or sentinel event:
  • Extensive punctate white matter injury.
  • Periventricular hemorrhagic infarction (any location).
  • Cerebellar injury (ischemic and/or hemorrhages) involving the vermis or involving more than 1/3 of the cerebellar hemisphere and/or lesions involving the cerebellar vermis (Meijler \& Steggerda, 2019).
  • Cystic periventricular leukomalacia (grade 3 \& 4).
  • intraventricular hemorrhages grade III.

  • Perinatal asphyxia with hypoxic ischemic injury in the watershed areas.
  • Perinatal ischemic arterial stroke at high risk for CP, thus with involvement of the corticospinal tracts, cortex, white matter and basal ganglia (Wagenaar et al., 2018).
  • Presence of other brain injuries with expected adverse motor outcome (i.e. big subdural and parenchymal bleedings with/without midline shift, bilirubin induced brain injury) in preterm infants, term infants with neonatal encephalopathy with/without neonatal seizures.
  • Written informed parental consent (Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Spanish).

Exclusion

  • Infants not matching the inclusion criteria.
  • Any proven or suspected severe congenital anomaly, genetic or metabolic disorder.
  • Presence of an infection of the central nervous system.
