Abstract
Several factors have been implicated in the regulation of cerebral and ocular vasomotor tone in the newborn: the interrelationship between prostanoids, NO, and other vasoactive mediators remains a subject of interest and active investigation. Pharmacologic modulation may provide new treatment modalities for diseases of the newborn that are mostly hemodynamic and vascular in nature.
