Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Classical Kernicterus is a clinical triad of abnormal motor control, movements and muscle tone, an auditory processing disturbance with or without hearing loss, and oculomotor impairments, especially impairment of upward vertical gaze. It’s a rare disease with severe neurologic consequences that is due to severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. With early identification, prevention and treatment of severe hyperbilirubinemia, kernicterus is a cerebral palsy preventable cause, happening in the neonatal period. Nowadays, newborns are often discharged before 48 hours of life. Once that most of the times, bilirubin peak level happens around 96 hours of life, when many newborns have already been discharged from the hospital, pediatricians often have to predict the risk of developing subsequent severe hyperbilirubinemia. Like this, it’s necessary to improve the diagnosis and to promote the early treatment of neonatal jaundice when necessary.
