Neonatal Encephalopathy (NE), sometimes known as hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), is a form of brain damage that results when an infant does not receive enough oxygen. The condition should be medically treated immediately before it further damages the brain. A Michigan neonatal encephalopathy lawyer could help with a birth injury claim.
HIE can be caused by a number of things that may take place before, during, or after birth, including:
Noticeable symptoms associated with neonatal encephalopathy include:
The number of symptoms that present themselves depends on the severity of the condition. A baby diagnosed with HIE may experience mild, moderate, or severe symptoms. More mild cases will have little (or no) effect on the child’s life, while more serious cases can result in cerebral palsy, seizures, developmental delays, and other cognitive issues. An attorney in Michigan could review the cause and symptoms to build a strong neonatal encephalopathy claim.
Fortunately, neonatal encephalopathy and HIE are treatable when addressed early. The best treatment option for a child is be determined by the cause and the severity of the condition.
