[Risk factors and sequels of perinatal nervous system lesions].

The review of the data available in the literature gives the present views of the causes of perinatal nervous system lesions and risk factors predisposing to the development of this pathology. It also presents the data on different types of lesions of the cerebral cortex, nuclei basalis, and ventricular system, which have been obtained by neuroimaging (computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging) and morphological studies. The time of intrauterine cerebral periventricular lesion is discussed.
