What are the symptoms of mild hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy in newborns?

Patient's question:

Neck stiffness with head leaning backward

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: The severity of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is primarily determined by the hypoxic condition at birth (Apgar score) and clinical manifestations for comprehensive diagnosis.
Guidance: Prognosis assessment also relies on comprehensive evaluation of clinical symptoms and signs at 24 hours, 48 hours, and 7 days after birth. If there is no significant asphyxia at birth (score > 7), consciousness is good, muscle tone and reflexes are normal, even if CT shows low density (hypoxic damage), it will not cause severe sequelae.
