Symptoms of brain injury in infants?

summary

Infant brain injury refers to non progressive brain injury caused by various reasons from birth to 1 year old, including congenital brain hypoplasia, cerebral palsy and central nervous system dysfunction caused by critical diseases or trauma in infancy. It can be manifested as behavioral neurodevelopmental abnormalities, central dyskinesia, mental retardation, epilepsy, audiovisual disorders, etc. Symptoms of brain injury in infants? Let's talk about it.

Symptoms of brain injury in infants?

1. Visual stimulation: newborns can start to use bright toys and smiling faces of their parents to talk with them, guide them to gaze in all directions, several times a day, about 1 minute each time. If the visual evoked potential proves that there is obvious damage to the optic pathway or fundus examination has optic nerve hypoplasia or atrophy, the pupil should be stimulated with light reflex. The ratio of light to no light is 1-5 seconds: 5 seconds, 5 times in each group, 30-60 groups every day, and the interval between groups is more than 5 minutes. This method should be carried out under the guidance of experienced doctors, do not cause macular light damage. Reliable sitting with high contrast black and white picture and word card, faster speed of visual stimulation, can improve the ability of fixation.

2. Auditory stimulation: parents' voice is the best auditory stimulation, and they should speak louder with the baby several times a day. If the auditory evoked potential is abnormal, other soft sound stimulation can be added, such as the shaking sound of the plastic box with beans, etc. the sound can be counted each time, 30-60 times a day.

3. Skin sensory stimulation: about 80% of the children with brain injury have long latency and low amplitude of somatosensory evoked potential, which can promote the recovery of brain injury by touching, brushing and other skin stimulation. Touch, soft brush, sponge, tap, etc. are used for those with high muscle tension, several times a day, 5-10 minutes each time. Those with low muscle tension can use hard brush, hollow palm beating, cold and hot water stimulation, etc. Chiropractic is an effective method for comprehensive conditioning through skin stimulation.

matters needing attention
