Preliminary Results of a Computed Tomography Study of Neonatal Brain Hypoxia—Ischemia

Abstract
Neonates [65] suffering from hypoxia or ischemia during the perinatal period underwent computed tomography (CT) of the brain. Six categories, local ischemia, general ischemia, intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, intraventricular hemorrhage, and normal, were formed. 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.
