How are Neurological Impairments Diagnosed in Neonates?
Diagnosing neurological impairments in neonates involves a combination of clinical assessments and diagnostic tests. Some of the common methods include:
- [Neurological Examination](): Assessing the baby's reflexes, muscle tone, and behavior. - [Neuroimaging](): Techniques such as [MRI]() and [CT scans]() are used to visualize brain structures. - [Electroencephalography (EEG)](): Monitoring electrical activity in the brain to detect abnormalities. - [Genetic Testing](): Identifying genetic disorders that may be causing neurological issues.
