Desired Outcomes:

• Recognize neurological problems unique to newborns and infants
• Identify features warranting further evaluation for newborns with abnormal head size
• List diagnostics to consider for evaluation of microcephaly
• Distinguish between hypotonia and encephalopathy
• Determine the initial diagnostic steps for suspected neonatal seizures.
