Neuromonitoring in neonatal intensive care units-an important need towards individualized neuroprotective care.

Neuromonitoring has been widely accepted as an important part in neonatal care. Amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG) and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) are often mentioned in this context, though being only a part of the fully array of methods and examinations that could be considered neuromonitoring. Within the broad array of medical conditions that could be encountered in a neonatal patient, it is important to be aware of the indications for neuromonitoring and especially which neuromonitoring technique to use best for the individual condition.

Case Report: DPM1-CDG: Novel Variant with Severe Phenotype and Literature Review.

Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) type I include variants in the gene leading to DPM1-CDG. The nine previously reported patients showed developmental delay, seizures, electroencephalography abnormalities and dysmorphic features with varying disease onset and severity. Clinical features of a new patient are described.

Guiding Antiepileptic Therapy in a Pediatric Patient with Severe Meningoencephalitis and Decompressive Craniectomy with the Use of Amplitude-Integrated Electroencephalography.

 Amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) is one of the most widely used neuromonitoring tools in neonatology today. However, little is known about its clinical indications and potential benefits in pediatric intensive care patients. Based on limited experience, its impact on therapeutic decision-making in this patient population is unclear.
