Abstract: Objective To explore the pathophysiology and MRI features of hypoxic-ischemic brain damage in premature and the correlation with the degree of hypoxia,and to improve the understanding of this disease.Methods Thirty patients with clinically diagnosed hypoxic-ischemic brain damage in preterm infants were examined by MRI and the MRI findings were analyzed. Results Of the 30 children, 7 cases suffered from single subventricular hemorrhage; 6 cases had subventricular hemorrhage combined with a small amount of hemorrhage in the periventricular white matter; 4 cases had subarachnoid hemorrhage and intraventricular hemorrhage;2 cases had subarachnoid hemorrhage;9 cases had periventricular white matter injury; 2 cases had hemorrhagic cerebral infarction. Conclusion MRI findings of hypoxic-ischemic brain damage in premature infants are complex and diverse,and are associated with multiple signs.There is no specific relationship between MRI signs and the degree of perinatal hypoxia.MRI can accurately detect the lesion,and provide a reliable imaging basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
