[Intrauterine destruction of the brain by molds].

Pathohistological changes in the brain of 15 fetuses and newborns caused by intrauterine damage with mouldy fungi, identified according to their morphological characteristics as aspergillas, are described. The predominant localization of the mycotic foci was the periventricular zone of the lateral ventricles. Special attention is given to grave lesions of the brain's vessels and the ependyma of the lateral ventricles. A collation of pathomorphological data with the results of clinical examination of the mothers and children was carried out.
