Popis: Hipotonija u novorođenčadi i dojenčadi predstavlja dijagnostički izazov za neonatologe i pedijatre, budući da je to klinički simptom koji upućuje na dobroćudna, ali i ozbiljna stanja. Diferencijalna dijagnoza neonatalne i dojenačke hipotonije jest opsežna, a metodičan pristup pomaže u lokalizaciji problema na određeni dio živčanog sustava i formuliranju diferencijalne dijagnoze. Postavljanje dijagnoze pomaže u planiranju liječenja i informiranju roditelja o prognozi. Ovaj pregledni članak predstavlja strukturirani pristup koji naglašava početnu procjenu, pregled i liječenje novorođenčeta i dojenčeta s generaliziranom hipotonijom.
Hypotonia in newborns and infants represents a diagnostic challenge for neonatologists and pediatricians, since it is a clinical symptom that points to benign as well as serious conditions. The differential diagnosis of neonatal and infant hypotonia is extensive, and a methodical approach helps in localizing the problem to a specific part of the nervous system and formulating a differential diagnosis. Establishing a diagnosis helps in planning treatment and informing parents about the prognosis. This review article presents a structured approach that emphasizes the initial assessment, examination, and management of the neonate and infant with generalized hypotonia.
