Abstract

Four cases of periventricular ischemia without hemorrhage in premature infants are described in which positive rolandic sharp waves (PRSW) were predominant in the electroencephalogram (EEG). These findings suggest the relationship of PRSW to periventricular ischemia rather than to intraventricular hemorrhage, per se, as has been considered by most investigations in the past. These PRSW can provide an early indication of periventricular leukomalacia.
