Abstract
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is the major recognized perinatal cause of neurological morbidity both in premature and full-term newborns [1]. During the perinatal period, hypoxemia and/or ischemia usually occur as a result of asphyxia; brain biochemical changes associated with hypoxemia, ischemia, and asphyxia are extremely complex and, other than to duration and severity of the event, are strictly related to the state of brain development and maturation.
