MRI of bilirubin encephalopathy (kernicterus): A case series of 4 patients from Sub-Saharan Africa, May 2017
چکیده انگلیسی
Characteristic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in patients with chronic kernicterus are bilateral and symmetric T2-weighted hyperintensities in the globus pallidus. We report 4 cases of infants with clinical, laboratory, and MRI findings of kernicterus in this case series. This is the first MRI report of kernicterus in Ethiopia. Awareness of the disease is raised in this report, and the role of magnetic resonance in detecting signal abnormalities associated with kernicterus in the globus pallidi is underscored. We recommend MRI to be part of the investigation in neonates with jaundice.
