Overview
There are no other diagnostic studies associated with [disease name].
OR
[Diagnostic study] may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
OR
Other diagnostic studies for [disease name] include [diagnostic study 1], which demonstrates [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3], and [diagnostic study 2], which demonstrates [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
Other Diagnostic Studies
- Electroencephalography
- Indicated if seizures are suspected along with cerebral palsy
- Helps in evaluation of severe hypoxic-ischemic injury
- Findings may include initial marked depression of voltage amplitude followed by a discontinuous pattern
- EMG and Nerve Conduction Studies
- To exclude a muscle or nerve disorder
- To evaluate auditory and visual pathways , evoke potentials are used.
- Placental examination[1]
- Screening for associated conditions[2][3][4]
- Intellectual disability
- Visual impairment
- Hearing impairment
- Speech and language impairment
- Growth and nutrition monitoring
