Peter Shen MD, Abstract Co-Author: Nothing to Disclose

1. Review the clinical presentations, risk factors, epidemiology, and diagnostic work-up for the different causes of neonatal encephalopathy . 2. Present normal neonatal brain development especially in regards to the expected sulcation and myelination patterns. 3. Demonstrate the imaging patterns that assist in the diagnosis and future management of these patients.  

Epidemiology, risk factors, and clinical presentations of different neonatal encephalopathies Neonatal developmental anatomy with emphasis on sulcation and myelination patterns MRI acquisition techniques utilized at our institution to optimize detection of pathology in neonatal encephalopathy Different categories and specific causes of neonatal encephalopathy - Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) o Full term neonatal HIE patterns o Pre-term neonatal HIE patterns - Metabolic encephalopathy o Inborn error metabolism o Acquired metabolic disorders - Infectious encephalitis o Herpes simplex virus encephalitis o Group B streptococci encephalitis - Stroke o Arterial o Venous Review of a series of cases from our institution, which demonstrate the imaging patterns characteristic to the aforementioned categories and specific causes of neonatal encephalopathy Summary
