“…Where detrimental effects exist these are extreme. Similarly, the results obtained by Benaron et al (1960) suggested that birth asphyxia does not produce a generalized lowering of function but rather overt abnormality in isolated cases.…”

“…Several published reports have shown that perinatal asphyxia increases the risk of handicapssuch as cerebral palsy, mental retardation, epilepsy, or disorders of learning and behaviour in childhood (Berendes, 1975)-but there is still uncertainty about the precise role of asphyxia in causing these conditions since most babies surviving severe asphyxia do so as normal children (Fraser and Wilks, 1959;Benaron et al, 1960;Scott, 1976;Thomson et al, 1977). There are several other perinatal conditionssuch as prematurity, intrauterine growth retardation, apnoeic attacks, hypoglycaemia, or hyperbilirubinaemia-that may also increase the risk of handicaps in childhood.…”

(Scott, 1976;Thomson et al., 1977), making it more difficult to identify the precise role of asphyxia in causing brain damage. The present study was undertaken in a set of neurologically abnormal babies with a history of fetal distress in labour, to find out whether the types of neurological signs exhibited by such babies have any bearing on their outcome in later infancy or childhood. MethodsSubjects. Newborn babies, 37 to 44 weeks' gestational age, with a history of fetal distress, were diagnosed as severely neurologically abnormal in the early newborn period by colleagues working at the same hospital, because of the unequivocal presence of abnormal tone (hypertonia or hypotonia), irritability on handling (marked increase in spontaneous activity with alteration in respiration, or crying), a 'cerebral' (high-pitched) cry, or convulsions.
