Neonatal Encephalopathy
Neonatal Encephalopathy is a serious condition affecting newborns, characterized by abnormal brain function. It often occurs due to a lack of oxygen during birth, infections, or other complications. Symptoms may include poor muscle tone, difficulty feeding, and seizures. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for improving outcomes.
The condition can lead to long-term issues, such as cerebral palsy or developmental delays. Medical professionals use various tests, including brain imaging and monitoring, to assess the severity. Treatment may involve supportive care, medications, and therapies to help the baby recover and develop normally.
