POSSIBILITIES OF CORRECTION OF PERINATAL DAMAGE TO THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM IN A SPECIALIZED CHILDREN’S HOME

Abstract

More than 90 % of children receiving treatment in maternity hospitals or perinatal specialized centers are diagnosed with perinatal damage to the central nervous system; the frequency of this diagnosis reaches 715:1000 children in their first year of life. Children brought up in orphanages are children deprived of a family, often unwanted, rejected by their parents before birth. Initially, most of them have a dysfunctional socio biological history, parental abuse of alcohol and drugs, maternal smoking during pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases of the mother, criminal interventions, prematurity, asphyxiation during childbirth, intrauterine infections, intracranial birth injury and others. A combination of adverse factors is often noted. Perinatal damage to the central nervous system is an urgent symptom complex requiring a thorough multidisciplinary medical history and diagnosis, immediate treatment to obtain a positive outcome and reduce the risk of disability in the general population.
