In addition, “islands” of neurons that are relatively unaffected can exist between ulegyria affected neurons. Ulegyria can develop bilaterally or unilaterally, though the former is more commonly diagnosed.Ulegyria can affect many parts of the brain including the cerebral cortex, parasagittal areas and posterior regions of the brain, such as the parietal and occipital lobes. These areas are situated either near artery rich regions or near a major cerebral artery. For instance, specifically in neonatal children, ulegyria-affected areas are found near the posterior cerebral artery or near the artery rich region between the middle and posterior regions of the brain, often referred to as watershed regions.Neurons affected by ulegyria exhibit properties that differ from normally functioning neurons. For instance, ulegyria affected neurons experience gliosis in which glial cells, specifically astrocytes, build up near and around neurons. Ulegyria affected neurons also display decreases in their white matter content, showing signs of sclerosis, which is characterized by the deterioration of myelin in neurons. However, in regions of grey matter, large dense aggregates of myelin are present. Ulegyria affected neurons also display metabolic disorders which could be linked to the disease phenylketonuria and disruptions in the urea cycle. Hypoglycemia and  hypoxia are also thought to accompany the symptoms of ulegyria-affected neurons as well. Causes
Ulegyria develops as a result of a brain injury called cerebral ischemia surrounding the time of an infants birth. Oftentimes, fetal hypoxic-ischemic brain injuries occur as a result of a pregnancy complications such as placental abruption, cord accident, or cardiovascular stress due to a difficult delivery.
Small plaque parapsoriasis  characteristically occurs with skin lesions that are round, oval, discrete patches or thin plaques, mainly on the trunk. : 452 : 207 Subtypes:

Xanthoerythrodermia perstans is a distinct variant with lesions that are yellow in color. : 452 
Digitate dermatosis is a distinct variant with lesions in the shape of a finger and distributed symmetrically on the flanks. : 452
