CONGENITAL ANOMALIES OF THE BRAIN

Abstract

Abnormalities of brain development are the result of abnormalities in the formation of individual cerebral structures or the brain as a whole occurring in the intrauterine period. They often have non-specific clinical symptoms: predominantly epileptic syndrome, mental and intellectual retardation. The severity of the clinic directly correlates with the degree of brain damage. Diagnosed antenatally by obstetric ultrasound, after birth by EEG, neurosonography and MRI of the brain. Treatment is symptomatic: antiepileptic, dehydration, metabolic, psychocorrective.
