Summary
Persistent flexory pyramidal signs, like the Rossolimo and Mendel-Bekhterev symptoms, in premature newborns after 12 weeks may indicate upper motoneuron impairment, especially in those with perinatal pathology.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Neonatology
- Developmental Pediatrics
Context:
- Premature newborns (800-2000g) require ongoing neurological assessment.
- Perinatal pathology can affect neurological development.
- Early identification of neurological issues is crucial.
Purpose:
- To investigate the significance of specific flexory pyramidal signs in premature infants.
- To determine if the persistence of certain reflexes indicates upper motoneuron impairment.
- To establish a potential early diagnostic marker for neurological deficits.
Summary:
- Fifty-five premature newborns were monitored for several weeks.
- The study focused on the Rossolimo and Mendel-Bekhterev symptoms (flexory pyramidal signs).
- The presence of these reflexes beyond 12 weeks of age was analyzed in relation to perinatal factors.
Impact:
- Findings may aid in the early detection of upper motoneuron impairment in high-risk infants.
- This research could refine neurological assessment protocols for neonates.
- Establishes a potential clinical indicator for monitoring neurological development in premature infants.
