Magnetic Resonance Imaging Evaluation of Brain in Developmental Delay Children
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Introduction: Developmental delay is termed as gross or significant delay in more than one developmental domains.Aetiology of the developmental delay is the wide spectrum. MRI is the best modality to evaluate such children. Other than early diagnosis and treatment, helps in counselling parents regarding their outcome and risk of recurrence in the siblings. Materials and Methods: An observational and descriptive study of MRI brain in 100 paediatric patients with developmental delay for the duration of 2 years from December 2014-December 2016. Results: Normal MRI Findings were seen in 36% cases and abnormal findings were seen in 64% (64 cases). Further the etiological factors as been classified as traumatic/neurovascular (30%), congenital/developmental (12%), metabolic/degenerative (8%), neoplastic (4%) and non-specific (10%). Most common features observed in the study were PVL, gliosis with volume loss, thinning of corpus calosum. Common anatomical abnormalities are corpus callosum agenesis and nodular heterotopia. Conclusion: MRI brain study is an effective tool in identifying causative factor in developmental delay children with high yielding results.
