Preliminary results of a computed tomography study of neonatal brain hypoxia--ischemia
Sixty-five neonates who suffered hypoxia or ischemia during the perinatal period underwent computed tomography (CT) of the brain. The findings were divided into six categories: local ischemia, general ischemia, intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, intraventricular hemorrhage, and normal. Follow-up clinical evaluation (16 patients) and CT brain scans (5 patients) were available in some patients. The implications of CT in the prognosis of these patients is discussed.
