Abstract:
Studies of fetal monkeys and lambs have demonstrated the association between a single prolonged episode of severe fetal hypoxia and the occurrence of neurologic abnormality. This case represents a single episode of fetal hypoxia with severe metabolic acidosis at delivery accounting for neurologic abnormality on postmortem examination that closely parallels the results of experimental studies.
