Abstract
Summary: Eightyfive children treated at a children's hospital for asphyxia neonatorum were subjected to a follow‐up examination. Eighteen died during the newborn period. Sixtyfive of the 67 survivals were followed up. Among them 18 showed signs of a permanent cerebral injury (spasticity, mental retardation, convulsions). The late prognosis was correlated to different clinical symptoms during the newborn period. Children with convulsions, changed tonus, bulging fontanel, reduced sucking capacity have a conspicuously bad prognosis.Keywords
