Abstract

The obstetric birth injury is simulated on experimental animals (rats — males). During the experiment it was proved that rotations and unbending of the animal's head can result in the trauma of the spinal cord, vertebral column, vertebral arteries, ischemic processes of the reticular formation, white substance of the brain. Neurologic symptomatology of traumatized animals resembles paresis of extremities or myatonic syndrome that are often found in infants.
