INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION IN NEWBORN INFANTS: CAUSES, CLINICAL COURSE, AND DIAGNOSIS
Abstract
Intracranial hypertension in newborns is a pathological condition characterized by increased intracranial pressure, which can lead to severe damage to the nervous system. This article discusses the main causes, clinical manifestations, and diagnosis of intracranial hypertension. The disease may result from prenatal factors (fetal hypoxia, infections, genetic disorders), perinatal factors (birth trauma), or postnatal factors (neuroinfections, hydrocephalus). Clinical symptoms include excessive head growth, bulging fontanelles, muscle tone disorders, vomiting, seizures, and irritability. Diagnosis is carried out through neurosonography, CT/MRI, ophthalmoscopy, and cerebrospinal fluid pressure measurement. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are crucial for the child's future development.
