Birth injuries are diagnosed by doctors with a variety of different tests depending on your child’s symptoms.
Your child’s doctor will likely conduct a physical exam to find any abnormalities. Imaging tests such as X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans may also be used to check for signs of brain damage. Doctors may also test your child’s hearing, vision, and intellectual abilities.
Reach out to a doctor right away if your child has any possible symptoms of a birth injury. The sooner a diagnosis is confirmed, the faster they can get treatment to manage their symptoms.
