One of the main causes of intrauterine fetal death and death of children during the neonatal period is birth trauma, in the form of intracranial hemorrhages, caused mainly by fetal asphyxia and mechanical obstacles. We studied 63 cases of death of newborns (34 full-term and 29 premature), observed in the clinic in recent years. Birth trauma in the form of intracranial hemorrhages was observed in 33 children (14 full-term and 19 premature), which is 52.3%. The birth trauma in all cases was confirmed by autopsy and was expressed in a typical pattern for this trauma.
