title: Computed tomography in global cerebral cortical ischemia of the neonate and young infant.
abstract: The authors have encountered three unique neonates with global cerebral cortical ischemia. The pathogenesis and computed tomography scans of these patients who sustained profound hypoxemia is described. Follow-up computed tomography scans in each case demonstrated generalized loss of cortical substance.
