Seizure-associated brain injury in term newborns with perinatal asphyxia.
BACKGROUND There is controversy over whether seizures, the most common manifestation of neonatal brain injury, may themselves damage the developing brain. OBJECTIVE To determine if neonatal seizures are independently associated with brain injury in newborns with perinatal asphyxia. METHODS Ninety term neonates were studied with MRI and single-voxel (1)H-MRS on median day of life 6 (range 1 ...
متن کاملHearing, speech, and language in survivors of severe perinatal asphyxia.
Hearing, speech, and language were studied in 26 children who survived severe perinatal asphyxia. The results of hearing tests showed that most children had a favourable outcome. Only 1 child had sensorineural deafness. Hearing loss in 6 others was due to middle-ear disease which resolved after treatment, and on retesting was found to be normal. The study also showed that neither gentamicin tre...
متن کاملNeonatal Central Diabetes Insipidus Caused by Severe Perinatal Asphyxia
We describe three rare cases of neonatal central diabetes inspidus (CDI) caused by severe perinatal asphyxia. In these cases, hypernatremia, high plasma osmolality and hyposthenuria, with polyuria occurred after one week of age. CDI in one case might be due to the temporal dysfunction of hypothalamic-neurohypophyseal axis and the other two cases to permanent dysfunction. Although these cases ar...
متن کاملLiver impairment among neonates with moderate to severe asphyxia
Background and Objectives: Perinatal asphyxia may cause severe damages in different organs such as kidneys, lungs, liver and most importantly CNS. The current study aimed to evaluate and compare the prevalence of liver impairment among asphyxiated and normal neonates. Methods: A retrospective case-control study was carried out in a referral pediatrics Hospital (Iran- from 2013 to 2015). Term an...
متن کاملNeurological Complications of Perinatal Asphyxia
The degree of asphyxia is best ascertained by measuring the amount of fetal acidosis determined by umbilical arterial blood. An umbilical arterial pH of less than 7.0 is seen in about 0.3% of deliveries.1 It indicates a severity of acidosis that places the fetus at risk for permanent neurological damage because of asphyxia. However, the outcome of infants with umbilical cord pH of less than 7.0...
