Abstract

A 30-week-gestation preterm infant developed bilateral periventricular haemorrhage with massive right sided parenchymal extension and subsequent porencephaly; yet his subsequent development was unexpectedly good, with a developmental quotient in the normal range and only mild motor delay. He showed no asymmetry of motor function until 10 weeks of age, and the signs were still mild at one year of age.

Key words
