[Infant diseases of neurologic origin].
Whenever abnormalities are found during the neurological examination of an infant who presented an apparent life-threatening event, traumatic or metabolic etiologies must be searched for in priority. Indeed, these etiologies require emergency diagnosis and treatment due to the major risk of recurrence, and consequent worsening of the neurological and functional prognosis or death.
