[Perinatal neurology: panoramic view].
Four of the most typical anatomo-clinical syndrome of perinatal brain damage are schematically described, concerning risk circumstances, pathology, signs and symptoms, investigations and long term prognosis. The goal of this oversimplistic approach is to offer to the obstetricians some clues about expectation and decisions in various categories of risk. The relation Maturation-Brain damage, the respective role of mechanical and asphyxic insult are discussed. A rough estimation of the risk of severe sequelae according to birth weight is proposed, with implications on prevention of brain damage.
