How to treat posterior leukodystrophy of the lateral ventricles?

Patient's question:

Children have symptoms of a fit, walking unsteadily. The symptoms began to reappear at the age of 4. The reason is due to hypoxia in newborns. Previous treatment and outcomes: Diagnosed with the above conditions at Xi'an Xijing Hospital, medication for 3 years, but the condition has not improved. What kind of assistance is needed: Please provide us with a recommendation for a professional hospital.

Doctor's answer:

The incidence of premature infants is significantly lower than that of full-term infants, but since full-term infants account for the majority of live births, they are more common. HIE is one of the main causes of acute near-fatal conditions and chronic neurological damage in newborns. If the child exhibits the aforementioned symptoms again, it may indicate neurological damage. It is recommended to receive treatment at the hospital where the diagnosis was made. This is a relatively rare brain disease with an unclear cause. Treatment may also be repeated, which may not necessarily benefit the child. Wishing the child a speedy recovery!
