Twenty critically ill infants with abnormal head growth and/or seizures underwent CAT of the brain. Signs of birth asphyxia or respiratory distress were present in all. Six out of ten infants with abnormal size of the head had abnormal CAT scans. Nine out of ten infants with seizures had abnormal scans. Abnormalities included hydrocephalus, intraventricular hemorrhage, cerebral edema, subarachnoid hemorrhage and porencephaly. Six infants required neurosurgical procedures. Development at two to 15 months of age in the 19 surviving infants was normal in nine, suspect in eight, and severely delayed in two patients. Until the prognosis of the various CNS disorders discussed is clearly defined, aggressive management appears indicated.
20名头部生长异常和/或患有癫痫的重症婴儿接受了脑部计算机断层扫描（CAT）。所有婴儿均有出生时窒息或呼吸窘迫的迹象。10名头围异常的婴儿中有6名CAT扫描结果异常。10名患有癫痫的婴儿中有9名扫描结果异常。异常情况包括脑积水、脑室内出血、脑水肿、蛛网膜下腔出血和脑穿通畸形。6名婴儿需要接受神经外科手术。19名存活婴儿在2至15个月龄时，9名发育正常，8名疑似发育迟缓，2名严重发育延迟。在明确所讨论的各种中枢神经系统疾病的预后之前，似乎需要积极的治疗。
