What Are Common Neonatal Disorders Affecting Brain Development?
Several neonatal disorders can impact brain development, including:
1. Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): Caused by oxygen deprivation and limited blood flow, HIE can lead to severe neurological impairments. 2. Intraventricular Hemorrhage (IVH): A bleeding condition within the brain's ventricles, commonly seen in premature infants. 3. Neonatal Infections: Infections such as meningitis and sepsis can cause inflammation and damage to the brain. 4. Neonatal Stroke: Blockage or bleeding in the brain's blood vessels, resulting in brain injury.
