Infant Disorders
Infant disorders refer to a range of medical conditions that can affect newborns and young children. These disorders can be genetic, developmental, or caused by environmental factors. Common examples include congenital heart defects, cerebral palsy, and autism spectrum disorder. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for improving outcomes and supporting healthy development.
Many infant disorders can be identified through routine screenings and assessments. Pediatricians often monitor growth, behavior, and physical health to detect any abnormalities. Treatment options vary depending on the specific disorder and may include therapy, medication, or surgery to help manage symptoms and enhance quality of life.
