Sixty-five neonates who suffered hypoxia or ischemia during the perinatal period underwent computed tomography (CT) of the brain. The findings were divided into six categories: local ischemia, general ischemia, intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, intraventricular hemorrhage, and normal. 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.

A canal-like radiolucency was noted in the medial plantar surface of the calcaneus in six patients. This represents a vascular canal of no clinical significance.

Aneurysms of the ascending aorta usually present to the right of the spine. Four patients with aneurysms of the ascending aorta or transverse arch presented to the left of the spine on the posteroanterior chest roentgenogram. On the lateral chest x-ray film, these were associated with the ascending aorta, and the apparent discrepancy led to diagnostic difficulty. All cases were proven by aortography and/or surgery.

CT diagnosis of renal lesions proved to be highly efficient and reliable. This modality was most accurate in diagnosing renal cysts and the great majority of solid lesions. There was an indeterminate group (5% of cases studied) that included cysts, tumors and abscesses. This group requires additional investigation, but angiography is often not conclusive because of the avascular nature of these tumors. Other problem areas included cysts with apparently irregular margins and artifacts produced by the presence of contrast agent in the collecting systems.
