Perinatal brain damage - what the obstetrician needs to know.
Journal of Perinatal Medicine 2023 July 27
Perinatal brain damage is still one of the leading contributors to perinatal death and postnatal disability worldwide. However, the term perinatal brain damage encompasses very different aetiological entities that result in an insult to the developing brain and does not differentiate between the onset, cause and severity of this insult. Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), intraventricular haemorrhage, periventricular leukomalacia and perinatal stroke are often listed as the major aetiologies of perinatal brain damage. They differ by type and timing of injury, neuropathological and imaging findings and their clinical picture. Along the timeline of neurodevelopment in utero , there appears to be a specific "window of vulnerability" for each type of injury, but clinical overlap does exist. In the past, peripartum acute hypoxia was believed to be the major, if not the only, cause of perinatal brain damage, but intrauterine inflammation, prematurity, chronic hypoxia/growth retardation and genetic abnormalities appear to be at least equally important contributors.
