Cleveland Clinic pediatric neurologists offer prenatal consultation for a wide range of neonatal neurology disorders detected in utero by fetal ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, or amniocentesis. They also offer pediatric neurology consultation and treatment for a variety of newborn conditions including:
- hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy
- neonatal seizures
- stroke
- CNS malformations
- brachial plexopathies
- neonatal hypotonia
- meningomyelocele
- hydrocephalus
Neurological abnormalities are often diagnosed before or shortly after delivery. The pediatric and congenital neurosurgery service treats disorders at this age, which include:
- hydrocephalus
- intraventricular hemorrhage
- cranial abnormalities
- spinal abnormalities, such as tethered cord and open spinal cord defects
A new neonatal intensive care unit gives specialized care concentrated for this age group and works closely with the neurology and neurosurgery services.
