Summary
Among the most common perinatal pathologies encountered by the neuropathologist are injuries to the CNS caused by hypoxia and/or ischemia (1–5). These may be the result of global problems (hypoxemia, anoxia, systemic hypotension, shock, circulatory arrest, etc.), regional or focal interruptions of the vascular supply, or secondary damage as a consequence of other disease processes such as infection (see Chapters 57 and 58). Here we consider patterns of damage affecting the cerebral hemispheres. Global processes will also affect the brainstem, cerebellum, and spinal cord.
