 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 9 Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy CT analysis [Abstract] Objective: 141 cases of clinically diagnosed neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) CT analysis of performance to explore the role of CT in the diagnosis of HIE and value. Methods: Analysis of 141 cases of HIE, the clinical data and CT manifestations. Results: Of 141 cases of HIE newborns, CT performance in 51 patients with mild, moderate 81 cases and severe in 9 cases. Conclusion: CT diagnosis of HIE is an effective method for clinical treatment and prognosis play an important role. [Keywords:] newborn; hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy; computer tomography X - Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is defined as perinatal asphyxia leading to hypoxic-ischemic brain damage, there was a series of clinical encephalopathy performance. According to Chinese Medical Science Society moment Neonatal Group meeting held in Hangzhou in 1996 for the clinical diagnosis of HIE standards for CT indexing, HIE disease were divided into mild, moderate and severe degree [1]. Severe HIE case fatality rate was 75%, 25% of the remaining nervous system sequelae. HIE is a common disease of newborns and is the current neonatal death and long-term disability in the main reason, CT can show pathological examination HIE the location, extent, with or without complications, clinical treatment and prognosis are very helpful In this paper, 141 cases of HIE children were analyzed, are reported as follows. 1 Data and methods 1.1 General Information 141 cases in this group, the male 89 cases, female 52 cases, 33 weeks ~ 43 weeks gestational age ranged from an average of 38 weeks, have a typical clinical history of ischemic hypoxia, age 1 d ~ 10 d, an average of 5 d the clinical manifestations were different degrees of cyanosis, apathetic, unresponsive, drowsiness, convulsions, abnormal muscle tone, sucking reflex and the weakening or disappearance of intracranial hypertension and other sy
