Pathological Reflexes in Children
Abstract
This scientific article examines the clinical diagnostic value of pathological reflexes in children as markers of immaturity or damage to the central nervous system and as a tool for early neurological risk stratification. In pediatric practice, pathological reflexes are defined as either "primitive" reflexes that persist beyond the age norm or pathological signs of pyramidal insufficiency detected during a standard neurological examination.
