MR imaging revealed almost identical findings of injury to the bilateral lentiform nuclei and the deep sulci of the insular and perirolandic regions; to our knowledge, this pattern has not been previously reported. We hypothesize that these lesions presumably reflect the distribution of brain injury due to hypoperfusion secondary to hyperammonemia and hyperglutaminemia in the neonatal period.}, pages = {1184--1187}, title = {Brain MR imaging in neonatal hyperammonemic encephalopathy resulting from proximal urea cycle disorders.}, volume = {24}, year = {2003} }
