Question

My baby had a seizure on the third day of birth, lasting about 20 minutes. The examination showed that the child was not deficient in calcium, and the doctor basically determined that there was a problem with the intracranial pressure. An MRI was done and no brain issues were found. What are the symptoms of neonatal hypoxemia-ischemic encephalopathy?

Answer

Neonatal hypoxemia-ischemic encephalopathy is a common neonatal disease, often manifested by changes in consciousness, such as irritability, excessive excitement or apathy, drowsiness, or coma. Eye symptoms include staring, strabismus, difficulty in upward eye movement, and nystagmus. Increased intracranial pressure, brain cries, bulging fontanelle, and seizures may also occur. In the respiratory system, from intrauterine life to birth, there is an increase or decrease in breathing, and there are many uncertain factors in this process, such as maternal factors, placental cord factors, fetal factors, and neonatal factors. Sometimes it is unclear.
