title: Computed tomography demonstration of cerebral calcification in postasphyxial encephalopathy.
abstract: Postasphyxial, diffuse cerebral calcification was demonstrated by computed tomographic (CT) brain scans in two infants. Calcification was seen in the white matter in both patients and in the basal ganglia in one. The neurologic outcome was poor in both infants.
