Computerized transverse axial tomography in the newborn
Abstract:
7 babies, aged 6 days--8 wk, who presented with abnormal neurological signs during the first days of life were investigated by computerized transverse axial tomography. 3 babies had suffered perinatal asphyxia. Only 1 baby required a general anaesthetic to facilitate the investigation. Structural intracranial lesions were seen in 6 babies and comprised hydranencephaly, cerebral agenesis with grossly dilated lateral ventricles, unilateral cerebral oedema, subarachnoid cyst of localized cerebral atrophy.
