White matter myelination was assessed in the frontal, temporal, and occipital lobes and in the internal capsule in 91 neurodevelopmentally handicapped infants on T2-weighted images (spin echo 3,000/120 ms) and compared with myelination scores from 53 normal control subjects. Clinical diagnosis was birth asphyxia (34), seizures with delays of various causes (33), congenital infections (15), and intracerebral hemorrhages (9). Myelination in the total group of patients was generally delayed. However, we found distinct differences in myelin deposition between groups. Myelination of handicapped children with seizures or with intrauterine infections was retarded most severely at all ages. Children with intracerebral hemorrhages were almost never significantly different from normals in any part of the brain, whereas children with birth asphyxia had myelination scores in between. We conclude that magnetic resonance staging of developmental processes, such as myelination, in the infants' brain helps to recognize delays at an early age.
