Abstract
The neuropathological study of an infant with severe perinatal asphyxia showed specific
neuronal loss in the medial part of the inferior olivary nucleus and the lateral part
of the cerebellar hemisphere. This distribution suggests that the partial loss of
olivary neurons is due to trans-synaptic degeneration from contralateral cerebellar
hemispheric lesions, immunohistochemistrically demonstrated by axonal loss and swelling
of neurofilaments.
