[Morphologic criteria for assessing of the etiology of birth trauma and dyscirculatory damage to the central nervous system (CNS) in the perinatal period].

The stages of the pathology examination necessary for establishing the diagnosis of the delivery trauma are considered. The emphasis is laid on the importance of studying the area of periostal congestion, the character of the skull bone dislocation and symptoms of the brain compression for the conclusion about the genesis of the intracranial lesions as well as for the evaluation of delivery and the quality of the obstetric help. It is shown how, by means of rules established by the author, it is possible to predict the location of the intracranial haemorrhages before opening the skull. It is stated that revealing delivery traumatic damages is necessary for a diagnosis of the delivery trauma.
