Patient's question:
Symptoms: Onset time: Test results: Previous treatment and effectiveness: My son was diagnosed with infantile pneumonia right after birth and recovered after 13 days of treatment at another hospital. However, the doctor suspects he may have infantile dementia, which cannot be detected due to limited hospital conditions. They recommended going to Beijing for further testing. Given our limited financial resources in the countryside, I am seeking assistance from doctors on how to proceed: How can infantile dementia be tested in newborns? Urgent!!!Doctor's answer:
Hello, pediatric dementia, also known as idiocy, is a type of labor-related illness caused by congenital deficiency or neglect of postnatal regulation, primarily characterized by low intelligence in children, which is also referred to as intellectual retardation. It may be associated with a family history of genetic disorders, transmission of pathogenic toxins during pregnancy, exposure to radiation, alcoholism, or use of drugs harmful to the fetus. The child may have a history of cranial brain injury during delivery, intracranial hemorrhage, or failure to cry at birth. After birth, the child may have suffered from cranial brain diseases (such as spring fever, epilepsy, etc.), a history of cranial brain trauma, convulsions, or poisoning from drugs or certain substances. There is evident delay in motor, language, and other developmental aspects, along with learning difficulties and intellectual impairments.
