1H MR spectroscopic characteristics of kernicterus: a possible metabolic signature.
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: MR examination of infants with kernicterus shows abnormal changes in signal intensity in various parts of the brain, including the globus pallidus and subthalamic regions. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively analyze proton ((1)H) MR spectroscopic data to see if the MR spectroscopic profiles of infants with hyperbilirubinemia and symptoms of kernicterus provide new insights into the pathophysiology of …
