What Neonatal Disorders Can Be Identified Through Facial Actions?
Several neonatal disorders can be identified through careful observation of facial actions:
Cerebral Palsy: Facial asymmetry or abnormal reflexes can be early signs. Congenital Infections: Unusual facial expressions, such as persistent grimacing, may indicate discomfort or pain. Neonatal Seizures: Repetitive facial twitching or blinking can be a sign of seizures. Genetic Disorders: Certain syndromes, such as Down syndrome, have characteristic facial features that can be identified early.
