Abstract
Hypoxic—ischemic brain injuries are a major problem in perinatology and are responsible for later disabilities in children. Two kinds of lesions are encountered and could be interrelated: ischemia and hemorrhage. The initiating stimulus for hypoxic—ischemic injury is impaired cerebral blood flow (CBF) autoregulation (Volpe 1987). It is important to carry out the imaging of central nervous system (CNS) injuries early in the neonatal period. Indeed, nowadays it is essential to know the nature, the location, and the extent of the lesions since the decision to continue treatment or not depends on this information.
