Extract

The introduction of noninvasive imaging techniques allowed diagnosis of intracranial pathology in the newborn infant during life, which previously was only possible at postmortem. This has stimulated new interest in correlating pathology with the pathophysiological changes that lead to these events, the neurological signs associated with them, and their ultimate effect on the neurological state of the survivors.
