Which diseases will affect the baby's intelligence?


Can cause the brain, leading to mental retardation disease baby in the future are:
Neonatal kernicterus: As the neonatal bilirubin in the body is too high, and the combination of brain cells, so that failure of brain cell function, affecting the future of intellectual newborn.
Neonatal Meningitis: This is a higher mortality rate of diseases, due to a direct violation of bacteria and toxins into the brain tissue, brain cells can be severely damaged;
Intracranial hemorrhage caused by birth trauma: intracranial pressure due to cerebral hemorrhage, bleeding brain tissues hindered by the blood circulation, so that cell degeneration and necrosis, thus affecting the baby's intelligence.
Neonates with mild asphyxia: a birth without breathing or heartbeat is very slow, if not to save power, at any time may cause death, if it survived for so long as it takes too long and the hypoxic brain cell injury caused by hypoxia ischemic encephalopathy, affecting the future of intelligence, there may even be cerebral palsy.
Neonatal hypoglycemia: in particular, is more common in premature children, due to nerve tissue in normal circumstances is almost entirely the use of glucose as a metabolic energy, if not timely feeding, recurrent hypoglycemia, or prolonged, can lead to persistent brain dysfunction, which affects the intellectual development.
Neonatal malnutrition: a child of 6 months after birth, is one of the critical period of brain development, if fed properly, resulting in malnutrition, brain cells, synapse formation and coupling can not compensate for the reduction occurs, but also will affect the to increase the volume of brain cells and myelin formation, so that obstacles to mental development occurs.
