Authors Reply; Atypical Cerebral MRI Manifestations in Neonatal Tuberous Sclerosis

We are gracious for the comments of Dr. Arastoo Vossough and Dr. Seyyed Ali Nabavizadeh. An acute periventricular leukomalacia is quite often seen in preterm infants and correlates with the prematurity. Peri-Ventricular Leukomalacia (PVL) is found in neonates after the 29th gestational week in a rate below 1%. In term babies, they should be well below 1%. This already yields a low probability of PVL in our case.
