A special note about perinatal asphyxiaBrain injury to a fetus or newborn may result in developmental delays that may affect a person’s quality of life, capacity to live independently, and ability to work. In some cases, a brain injury can be attributed to genetic or growth abnormalities which occurred during fetal development. However, there are other cases where brain trauma may have been preventable during the course of the mother’s labor and delivery. This condition is known as perinatal asphyxia.
