Description of White Matter Abnormalities Ultrasonography Grade 1 Small foci of abnormal echogenicity less echogenic than choroid plexus Grade 2 Diffuse foci of increased echogenicity less than the choroid plexus or irregularity of the lateral borders of the periventricular white matter (junction of the normal halo and surrounding cortex) Grade 3 Focal areas of abnormal echogenicity greater than or equal to the echogenicity of the choroid plexus Grade 4 Diffuse increased echogenicity greater than or equal to the echogenicity of the choroid plexus Grade 5 Periventricular cysts (cavitation) defined as anechoic regions with increased through transmission MR imaging Normal No periventricular white matter abnormalities Minimal white matter abnormality Three or fewer areas of T1 signal abnormalities measuring <2 mm Moderate white matter abnormality Three areas of T1 signal abnormalities or areas measuring >2 mm but <5% of the hemisphere involved* Severe white matter abnormality T1 signal abnormalities involving >5% of the hemisphere
* Percent of hemisphere involved estimated by visual inspection.
