Prenatal and postnatal neurological evaluation of a fetus and newborn from pregnancy complicated with IUGR and fetal hypoxemia

Abstract

In this case report, we present prenatal and postnatal neurological evaluation of a fetus and newborn from pregnancy complicated with intrauterine growth restriction, fetal hypoxemia, and preterm labor. Despite unfavorable intrauterine conditions, this premature infant showed normal early neurological development that was verified not only by postnatal tests but also with a new prenatal neurological screening test.
