Mongolian spots
▪ are congenital birthmarks seen most commonly over the lumbosacral area.
▪ They are bluish-green to black in color and oval to irregular in shape.
▪ They are most commonly found in individuals of African or Asian ethnic background.
Lead poisoning
▪ Lead poisoning (plumbism) is often a comorbid condition to iron deficiency anemia. A child at
risk for lead exposure should be screened at 9 to 12 months of age and again at 24 months. An
estimated 99% of lead-poisoned children are identified through screening procedures rather
than clinical recognition. Additional screening should be done at 15 and 30 months of age based
on at-risk status
▪ If the initial blood lead level is 5 mcg/dL or greater on a single visit, it is a concern for public
health purposes.
▪ The United States has made great strides in reducing lead toxicity through the elimination of
tetraethyl leaded gasoline, banning lead-containing solder to seal food and beverage cans, and a
federal rule to limit the amount of lead allowed in paint intended for household use.
Headaches
▪ Avoid known dietary triggers
▪ Avoid aged cheeses, some nuts, onions, chocolate, aspartame, processed meats with nitrates
(e.g., hot dogs/pepperoni), monosodium glutamate (MSG), refined sugar, processed
carbohydrates; limit caffeine, avoid foods high in omega-6 fatty acids; ensure adequate
hydration. Increase omega-3 fatty acids (wild salmon, herring, mackerel, cod, sardines; fish oil;
flax and hemp seeds; walnuts; algae).

▪ There are three major types of CP: (1) spastic, (2) athetoid (or dyskinetic), and (3) ataxic.
▪ Antispasmodic medications (baclofen, tizanidine, diazepam, and dantrolene) may be used to
minimize contractures and spasticity. They are appropriate for children needing only a mild
decrease in their muscle tone or in those with widespread spasticity. For optimal results,
dosages often need to be high, and side effects can result (drowsiness, upset stomach, high
blood pressure, and possible liver damage with chronic use).
