Study on Computed Tomographic Brain Scan Quantitative Evaluation on Newborn of Abnormal Prognosis with Perinatal Hypoxic Brain Damage / 实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the relation between the CT changes of ventricular volume and prognosis in newborn of perinatal hypoxic-ischemic brain damage.Methods From Jan. 2002 to Dec. 2006, 105 newborns with perinatal hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (moderate to severe) were divided into 2 groups (group A with nervous system sequel and group B without nervous system sequal). Brain CT was performed in 24 hours after admission in all cases and at 1 and 3-month time point in some cases according to their convalescence condition. Huckman index,the third ventricular width on CT images of various time points were measured and calculated by radiologist. The relations between the values and prognosis were analyzed statistically.Results The huckman index increased gradually with rehabil (P
