Periventricular leukomalacia. A white-matter brain injury seen in infants that is characterized by the periventricular (lateral ventricles) necrosis (usually coagulative) of white matter. Subsequent coalescence leads to porencephaly. Commonly seen in children with cerebral palsy, it is a marker for a brain injury occurring early in the third trimester.
