The terms "cerebral palsy," "neonatal encephalopathy," and "intrapartum asphyxia" are frequently used in pediatric neurology. This article presents concise, verifiable definitions for each of these entities based on our current understanding and formulates the nature of the interrelationships between them. The aim is to provide a level of clarity that will enhance diagnostic and pathogenetic precision and minimize conceptual misunderstanding. This should aid future therapeutic and research efforts in this important area.
“脑瘫”“新生儿脑病”和“产时窒息”等术语在儿科神经病学中经常使用。本文根据我们目前的理解,为这些病症中的每一种提供简洁、可验证的定义,并阐述它们之间相互关系的本质。目的是提供一定程度的清晰度,以提高诊断和发病机制的准确性,并尽量减少概念上的误解。这应该有助于在这一重要领域开展未来的治疗和研究工作。
