Infants Facing Serious Neurological Injuries
There are a number of injuries that affect babies, which can result from poor care in labor and delivery. If any of the injuries result in deprivation of oxygen, the child may sustain a neurological injury. Often in these cases, the injuries are catastrophic because the brain will not grow to same extent and that will affect the baby's functioning as he or she grows. Children who have experienced neurological injuries often do not meet the milestones of growth and coordination. Very severe neurological injuries can result in other conditions like paralysis, basic functioning problems and cognitive concerns.
- Hypoxia/asphyxia: lack of oxygen to the brain
- Cerebral palsy: lack of oxygen to the brain that results in cognitive or motor skill problems
- Hydrocephalus: this condition is one where there is an accumulation of fluid on the brain, which can cause neurological problems
