Abstract

The authors carried out clinical observations of 103 children with grave damages of the central nervous system. Twenty-five children died of intercurrent diseases. The results of pathomorphological examinations of the dead children's brain were compared with the clinical picture of grave forms of perinatal encephalopathy and infantile cerebral paralysis. Taking into consideration the pathological course of the pregnancy and labour in the children's mothers, the presence of the neurological symptoms since the very first days of the children's life, as well as the results of the pathomorphological examinations of the brain, one can conclude that it is a lingering inflammatory process (started as an intrauterine one in most children) that is the morphological base of these diseases.
