Neurologic disease of foals is a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for veterinarians. Disease conditions such as neonatal encephalopathy are seen as well as developmental and congenital defects, bacterial infections, and trauma. Neonatal encephalopathy can be considered a "syndrome" with a variety of causes resulting in a similar clinical presentation. These causes can be categorized as maladaptation, hypoxic/ischemic encephalopathy, and metabolic abnormalities, all leading to signs of cerebral and brainstem disease. Spinal cord signs may occasionally be seen, but these signs are usually overshadowed by cerebral disease. Treatment in most cases involves supportive care and outcome is favorable in most cases.
幼驹的神经系统疾病对兽医来说是一个诊断和治疗上的挑战。会出现诸如新生儿脑病等疾病状况，以及发育和先天性缺陷、细菌感染和创伤。新生儿脑病可被视为一种“综合征”，由多种原因导致相似的临床表现。这些原因可分为适应不良、缺氧/缺血性脑病和代谢异常，所有这些都会导致大脑和脑干疾病的体征。偶尔可见脊髓体征，但这些体征通常会被脑部疾病掩盖。大多数情况下的治疗包括支持性护理，且大多数病例的预后良好。
