Intrapartum Basal Ganglia–Thalamic Pattern Injury

Intrapartum Basal Ganglia–Thalamic Pattern Injury and Radiologically Termed “Acute Profound Hypoxic–Ischemic Brain Injury” Are Not Synonymous

Basal Ganglia–Thalamic Pattern Injury and Subacute Gradual-Onset Intrapartum Hypoxia: A Response

The comments and criticisms with regard to Smith et al have reference (Buchmann and Bhorat). Buchmann and Bhorat stated that Smith et al “disputes the current belief that the basal ganglia-thalamic (BGT) pattern injury is almost always caused by an often unexpected severe hypoxic–ischemic insult of sudden (or acute) onset lasting more than 10minutes in a previously normoxic foetus and submits that the conclusions drawn by Smith et al rely on faulty interpretation of the literature and deficient research methodology.”[1]
