Periventricular echogenicity (PVE) presents as diffuse echo dense lesions of the periventricular white matter on cranial ultrasonography. Beyond two weeks of life, it is considered as prolonged or persistent PVE. The aim of our study was to investigate the clinical characteristics of preterm infants with persistent PVE beyond 2 weeks after birth and to determine whether these infants had an adverse neurodevelopmental outcome.
