Diagnosis typically involves a combination of clinical assessment and diagnostic tests:
Neurological Examination: Assessing reflexes, muscle tone, and responsiveness. Imaging Studies: Techniques such as ultrasound, MRI, and CT scans help visualize brain abnormalities. Electroencephalography (EEG): Used to detect abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Blood Tests: These can identify metabolic disorders and infections. Lumbar Puncture: Often performed to diagnose infections like meningitis.
