[Abstract] Punctate white matter lesions (PWML) are prevalent white matter disease in infant (more than 20%), and may result in adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. The injury has the characteristics of variability and expansibility, which can lead to extended alterations in brain structures and function. This paper mainly introduces the research progress of lesion characteristics and prognosis of PWML, and point out the existing problems and prospects in evaluation of PWML.
