Patient's question:
My child was just born about two or three days ago. Yesterday, I went for a check-up and was told that they have neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. I can't believe it because my child has been very good since birth. Could you please tell me about the mild clinical manifestations of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy?Doctor's answer:
The clinical manifestations of mild neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy include the occurrence of hypoxia. Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is generally classified into three types: mild, moderate, and severe. If it is mild hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, the newborn often exhibits excessive excitement, such as irritability, jaw and limb tremors. If it is moderate hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy may present with symptoms such as lethargy, decreased muscle tone, and coma.
