Other disturbances of cerebral status of newborn refers to a group of conditions that affect the brain function in newborns. These conditions can be due to a variety of causes such as birth injuries, infections, genetic disorders or oxygen deficiency during childbirth. Common symptoms may include issues with feeding, seizures, abnormal movement, changes in the level of consciousness, or delayed development. These conditions often progress and affect the newborn's neurological system, impacting their cognitive and physical development. Some of these conditions may improve with time and treatment, while others may lead to long-term complications.
