Kernicterus is a rare but serious condition caused by extremely high levels of bilirubin in a newborn's blood, leading to brain damage. It occurs when bilirubin crosses the blood-brain barrier and stains the brain tissue, often resulting in permanent neurological issues like hearing loss, vision problems, or cerebral palsy. Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent it.
