What Causes Neonatal Brain Injuries?

There are various causes behind neonatal brain injuries, including:
1. Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): A condition in which the brain does not receive enough oxygen and blood.
2. Intraventricular Hemorrhage (IVH): Bleeding into the brain's ventricular system, commonly seen in premature infants.
3. Periventricular Leukomalacia (PVL): Damage to the white matter of the brain near the ventricles, often due to infection or reduced blood flow.
4. Traumatic Birth Injuries: Physical trauma during delivery, such as the use of forceps or vacuum extraction.
5. Infections: Infections like meningitis or maternal infections transferred during pregnancy.
