  1. Symptoms of Brain Damage in Newborns

  2. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), traumatic brain injuries are one of the leading causes of permanent disability or even death in infants. If your child has suffered brain damage, it is important for you to understand the symptoms. • Some common symptoms of brain damage in infant:

  3. 1. Physical Appearance •  Sometimes, it is possible to tell if something is wrong soon after the baby is born just by looking at their physical appearance. Look out for signs such as an abnormally large forehead, distorted facial features, abnormally small head, stiff neck, difficulty focusing the eyes and neck stiffness. If any of these signs appear, it is important to talk to your child’s doctor right away.

  4. 2. Issues with Temperament • Children with brain damage may also exhibit behavioral problems, including problems with feeding, fussiness, trouble sleeping while lying down and excessive crying.

  5. 3. Cognitive Problems • These often become apparent as the child grows older and misses normal growth stages. The child may experience difficulties in processing information, and/or with language, memory, attention, concentration, communication, and impulse control. Your child may be diagnosed with a learning disability or Asperger syndrome, autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyper disorder (ADHD), or attention deficit disorder (ADD).

  6. 4. Developmental Delays • Your child may miss important developmental milestones, including crawling, pulling themselves up, walking, eating without assistance, tying shoes, dressing unaided, and holding objects with a firm grasp.

  7. While these symptoms are helpful in diagnosing brain damage in an infant, medical professionals also resort to other diagnostic tools like CT scan or MRI. If your child suffered a brain injury as the result of carelessness or negligence by a doctor, nurse, or another medical professional, you can contact New York infant brain injury attorneys to seek legal guidance and justice.
