In utero ischemic injury: sonographic diagnosis and medicolegal implications.
The antenatal diagnosis of fetal neurologic injury has profound medical and legal implications. We report a case of antenatally diagnosed intracranial lesions including parenchymal hemorrhage in an otherwise physically normal infant. Computerized tomography in the newborn period demonstrated diffused ischemic damage with secondary cystic changes in addition to intracranial hemorrhage.
