The objective of this study was to reassess the clinical syndrome of kernicterus as neurodiagnostic studies have become more readily available and can be used to evaluate these infants.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0317167100004182_abs2\"><jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study population was neonates born at term or near term admitted to The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, between January 1990 and May 2000. During the study period, there were 9776 admissions (average number of admissions per year \u2013 888 infants). The inclusion criteria were that patients had total serum bilirubin levels of &gt; 400\u03bcmol\/L at the time of diagnosis and no evidence of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. Records were reviewed to establish neurodevelopment outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0317167100004182_abs3\"><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Twelve neonates (nine males) were identified. Bilirubin levels at the time of diagnosis ranged from 405 to 825\u03bcmol\/L. Causes of these elevated levels included glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (seven patients), dehydration (three patients), sepsis (one patient), and was undetermined in one patient. Abnormal visual evoked potentials were found in three of nine patients and abnormal brainstem auditory evoked potentials in seven of ten patients. Abnormal electroencephalograms were documented in five patients studied. Brain magnetic resonance imaging results were abnormal in three of four patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0317167100004182_abs4\"><jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Magnetic
