The Effect of Hypoxia and Hypoglycaemia on the Brain of the Newborn Human Infant

Abstract: SUMMARY Brain sections were studied from 34 infants who died following an episode of clinical hypoxia in the perinatal period. They were divided into two groups of 17 each depending on the additional presence or absence of a recorded episode of hypoglycaemia. Attention was confined mainly to alterations of the neurones in the grey matter. Histologically, both groups of infants, who had been exposed to essentially similar degrees of hypoxia, were characterised by the presence of ‘ischaemic’ nerve‐cell change, t… Show more

“…Successful treatment of hypoglycemia may prevent these pathologic changes. For example, brain pathology examination in 17 infants with hypoxia and mild, transient, treated hypoglycemia showed no difference in results compared with another 17 infants who had hypoxia alone [58] .…”
