Lenticulostriate vasculopathy (LSV) is a common finding on routine cranial ultrasound examinations. However, the clinical meaning of LSV remains unclear, more than 3 decades after the first LSV was reported. This review examined the literature in an attempt to clarify the clinical significance of LSV and provide practical guidelines for daily practice. LSV has been linked to various etiologies ...

Objective Lenticulostriate vasculopathy (LSV) is characterized by linear hyperechogenicities in the basal ganglia found on the head ultrasounds of infants. We reviewed electronic health records of infants with and without LSV to investigate whether physician dictations indicated symptoms which could reflect subtle basal ganglia injury. Study Design In a case-control study, we analyzed data from...

Lenticulostriate vasculopathy (LSV) is an ultrasound (US) visible lesion of the brain, which appears as echogenic streaks or spots in the arteries of thalamus and basal ganglia. LSV has varied etiology. Transfontanelar Color Doppler (TFCD) can easily display lenticulostriatal blood flow and assess: stage I LSV with present flow within echogenic changes and stage II LSV in which the flow disappe...

BACKGROUND Lenticulostriate vasculopathy (LSV) is sometimes detected on routine brain ultrasonography in neonates, and is often associated with various perinatal and neonatal abnormalities. However, most reports on LSV are retrospective with no controls. OBJECTIVES To compare the perinatal and neonatal clinical characteristics of neonates with LSV with matched controls and to summarise all pu...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the refractive outcomes of 3-port lens-sparing vitrectomy (LSV) for subtotal retinal detachments owing to retinopathy of prematurity. METHODS The study included 9 infants who had undergone complete ablative laser treatment for threshold retinopathy of prematurity in both eyes, subsequently developed stage 4A retinal detachment in 1 eye for which they underwent LSV, and m...

PURPOSE To study the refractive outcomes of 3-port lens-sparing vitrectomy (LSV) for subtotal retinal detachments due to retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Lens-sparing vitrectomy may provide superior refractive outcomes by limiting induced myopia of prematurity. METHODS This is a retrospective, consecutive, nonrandomized, comparative (paired eye) study. Entrance criteria were previous complet...
