This atlas investigates the critical visual indicators present in newborns and neonates to facilitate the early diagnosis of underlying conditions or diseases during the transition to extrauterine life. The authors, Gian Carlo Di Renzo and Umberto Simeoni, leverage their extensive clinical expertise and leadership within the European Society of Perinatal Medicine to compile a comprehensive visual reference. The text provides a structured framework for obstetricians and healthcare providers to distinguish between normal physiological signs and pathological symptoms requiring immediate intervention.

Medical professionals recognize this work as a specialized visual resource for practitioners involved in perinatal care. Experts highlight the clinical utility of the atlas in bridging the gap between observation and accurate diagnosis in high-pressure delivery settings.
