Brain injury secondary to hypoxic-ischemic disease is the predominant form of all brain injury encountered in the perinatal period. The focus of this article is the most recent research developments in this field and especially those developments that should lead to the most profound effects on inte
## Abstract Cerebral palsy is a major health problem caused by brain damage during pregnancy, delivery, or the immediate postnatal period. Perinatal stroke, intraventricular hemorrhage, and asphyxia are the most common causes of neonatal brain damage. Periventricular white matter damage (periventri
There is clinical and experimental evidence that the response to hypoxic and hypoxic-ischemic brain injury is age dependent. The effects of perinatal hypoxia, especially its epileptogenic effects, are different in the neonatal brain compared with that of the adult. Experimental models show increased
Recent epidemiologic data demonstrate that prenatal factors play a major role in the genesis of brain injury in childhood, e.g., cerebral palsy and mental retardation. Nevertheless, there is extensive experimental, clinical, and neuroimaging data that show that acute, intrapartum hypoxic-ischemic in
