Topic: A short neurological examination for SMA
Description:
With neonatal screening for spinal muscular atrophy becoming available worldwide, there has been evidence that not all the newborns with SMA identified by the screening are asymptomatic. A number of them will already present the typical signs of SMA with early neonatal onset while others, labeled as paucisymptomatic, may present some milder signs. Their identification is important as these newborns will need to be treated as early as possible to avoid further progression of the clinical signs. The webinar will report how a short examination, developed by modifying the Hammersmith Neonatal Neurological Examination, can help the clinician to detect early clinical signs and identify the infants who are in the prodromic phase of SMA.
