❑perinatal infection

❑anoxia (after respiratory or cardiac arrest)

❑infectious diseases (meningitis, encephalitis, or brain abscess)

❑ingestion of toxins (mercury, lead, or carbon monoxide)

❑tumors of the brain

❑inherited disorders or degenerative disease, such as phenylketonuria or tuberous sclerosis

❑head injury or trauma

❑metabolic disorders, such as hypoglycemia or hypoparathyroidism

❑stroke (hemorrhage, thrombosis, or embolism).
