Popis: We studied the histopathologic changes in the brain and eye of a 5 1/2-month-old infant who suffered a profound hypotensive episode three days antemortem. Nuclear pyknosis and other histologic changes characteristic of ischemic cell necrosis were found throughout the brain and in the retina's photoreceptor-cell layer. These findings suggest that hypoxic ischemia may produce preferential damage to the photoreceptor-cell layer.
