Neonatal Neurology

Neonatal neurology is a specialized area of medicine focusing on the nervous system of newborns, particularly those born prematurely or with health complications. It involves diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the brain and nerves, such as seizures, brain injuries, and developmental disorders. Neonatal neurologists work closely with neonatologists and other healthcare professionals to ensure that vulnerable infants receive appropriate care, monitoring, and interventions to support healthy brain development and minimize potential long-term issues. Their goal is to optimize outcomes for these newborns during a critical period of growth and maturation.
