Hypoxic-ischemic brain injury that occurs during the antenatal, perinatal, or early postnatal period is a significant diagnostic issue in both term and prematurely born neonates. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been more widely available in recent years. Using databases such as PubMed and Embase, we searched the literature for all published publications in our field through until the end of 2022. As a result, he can assist medics in identifying whether the newborn's brain damage is to blame for its clinical condition, as well as contribute to determining the infant's future development prognosis. The goal of this study is to give current understanding of various forms of hypoxic-ischemic brain lesions based on our personal experience and MR pictures from the Institute of Mother and Child's Department of Diagnostic Imaging archives.
