Scientific data report the existence of neurological developmental abnormalities between 10 and 30%, but the description of these disorders linked with this situation of cerebral hypoxia and haemodynamic failure remains poorly documented.
Objective: The main goal of this study was to describe the prevalence of neuro-psychomotor developmental disorders in children aged between one and five years old who have been hospitalised at birth in a neonatal intensive care unit for the management of PPHN.
