Adolescents with a history of neonatal encephalopathy and watershed pattern of injury on neonatal brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) had lower overall cognitive ability, perceptual reasoning skills, and auditory working memory than those with normal neonatal imaging. Children with post-neonatal epilepsy and cerebral palsy had the worst cognitive outcomes. Watershed pattern of injury confers high long-term differences in intellectual ability.
