The neonatal neurological examination is a cornerstone in the assessment of a neonate's neurological function. Although current neuroimaging and neurophysiology techniques have markedly improved our ability to assess and diagnose neurologic abnormalities, the clinical neurological examination remains highly informative, cost-effective, and time efficient. Early recognition of abnormal findings can prevent delays in diagnosis and implementation of beneficial therapies. The intent of this article is to improve the understanding and performance of the neonatal neurological examination. A standardized approach to neonatal neurological examination is described, including examination techniques and normal and abnormal findings.
