EEG findings in cooled asphyxiated newborns and correlation with site and severity of brain damage.
EEG and MRI are useful tools to evaluate the severity of brain damage and to provide prognostic indications in asphyxiated neonates. Aim of our study is to analyze the relationship between serial neonatal EEGs and severity and sites of brain lesions on MRI in neonates undergoing hypothermia, following a hypoxic-ischemic injury. ⋯ The severity of EEG background is associated with severity and site of MRI lesion pattern in neonates treated with hypothermia because of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.
