What are Potential Long-Term Effects of HIE?
The outcomes of HIE depend on how long the brain was deprived of oxygen and the timeliness of intervention. Some possible long-term effects include:
- Cerebral palsy
- Developmental delays
- Epilepsy
- Learning disabilities or cognitive impairments
While not every case of HIE leads to lasting effects, the impact can be profound in cases of severe oxygen deprivation.
