What symptom does leukomalacia have?

summary

As we all know, the structure of human brain is complex. The brain is divided into gray matter and white matter. Gray matter is mainly the cell body of nerve cells, and white matter is mainly the process of some nerve cells, that is, nerve fibers, which mainly plays a role of conduction function. Leukomalacia is the lesion of white matter. What are the symptoms of leukomalacia? Now let me tell you something.

What symptom does leukomalacia have?

If it is leukomalacia of prematurity, there is no special symptom in the early clinical stage. If it is an immature infant with a history of asphyxia and leukomalacia in perinatal period, the clinical manifestations are long-term apnea, hypotension and abnormal neurological signs. The disease should be suspected after intraventricular hemorrhage.

For children or adults, the most significant clinical manifestation of leukomalacia is the change of mental state, that is, there are at least one defect in attention, memory, visual spatial skills, executive function and emotional state without aphasia. Mild cases showed chronic fuzzy state of consciousness, with inattention, memory loss and emotional dysfunction; More serious cases have serious sequelae such as dementia, loss of consciousness, numbness and coma.

If focal necrosis of white matter occurs, the change of mental state is more prominent than that of general signs such as hemiplegia, sensory impairment and loss of vision. The distribution of toxic leukomalacia is usually diffuse, and its clinical grading is generally parallel to the severity of leukomalacia.
