| Summary: | <p id="p1">We aim to describe evaluations and early treatments to prevent neurological sequels in the outcome. Preterm and term infants with prenatal and perinatal risk factors for perinatal brain damage were studied. MRI examinations showed that 80% of these infants with risk factors have abnormal structural brain findings suggesting brain damage. This fact suggested that they must be treated as soon as possible. Katona’s neurohabilitation procedure was described, and the results obtained with different samples of term and preterm infants showed that its application prevented neurologic sequels. The outcome for the infants between 70 and 80% was favorable. The conclusion was that infants with prenatal and perinatal risk factors for brain damage should be treated immediately.</p> |
