Abstract:
Objective To study the effect of maternal hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy on brain development of the neonates. Methods Insular area,circle and cerebral gyri width of lobus frontals were measured in 56 neonates of the mothers with hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy(HDCP)by ultrasound and were compared with those of 53 neonates of the mothers without HDCP(control group). Results In the control group,the cerebral gyri width of term neonates was narrower than that of preterm neonates,while the insular circle was longer and the insular area was larger in the term neonates(P<0.01).Insular circle was significantly shorter and the insular area was significantly smaller in neonates of HDCP mothers [term:(87.43±10.21)mm,(413.60±90.05)mm2;preterm:(72.59±7.50)mm,(285.71±48.62)mm2]than those of the corresponding neonates in the control group[term:(102.14±9.97)mm,(557.08±98.89)mm2:preterm:(78.42±10.14)mm,(356.01±93.07)mm2].Cerebral gyri width were significantly wider only in the full term neonates.The incidence of small gestational age neonates was 30.36%(17/56)in hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy group.The neonatal behavioral neurological score of hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy group was significantly lower than that of control group (P<0.01). ConclusionsMaternal hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy may result in poor development of brain of their neonates,which could be evaluated by cerebral ultrasound.
