Abstract
Cranial computed tomography (CT) scans of 10 human infants with perinatal hypoxia and 9 cases of perinatal hypoglycemia were reviewed. Periventricular hypodensity and intracranial (subarachnoidal and/or intraventricular) hemorrhage were the most frequent pathologies in the early CT scans of perinatal hypoxia. In the follow-up of the cases with periventricular hypodensity, return to normality was observed in most instances. Neonatal hypoglycemia was similar except for the rarity of intracranial bleeding.
