MRI in kernicterus.
Australasian Radiology 2003 March
Kernicterus (bilirubin encephalopathy) is a disease entity with a very high rate of mortality in neonates. The children who survive are left with neurological deficits such as choreoathetosis, sensorineural deafness and mental retardation. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain in this condition has specific findings which aid in the accurate diagnosis of the condition, along with clinical and biochemical criteria. Reports have shown involvement of the globus pallidus, putamen, and less commonly the thalamus. More specific involvement may be isolated lesions of the globus pallidus. Magnetic resonance imaging has shown a good sensitivity in this condition.
