Patient's question:
My baby, when he was just a month old, suddenly vomited at night in a way similar to adults, like spitting up. On the third morning, he suddenly had convulsions, and I took him to the hospital for a thorough examination. At that time, his pupils were already dilated, and the examination results showed that a brain hernia had formed. Various blood tests revealed that his coagulation function was not good, and he couldn’t stop bleeding. Later, a drainage surgery was performed. The amount of bleeding in his brain was about 50 milliliters. Since he was exclusively breastfed, there were no scrapes or injuries to his brain. Later, it was diagnosed as spontaneous skin breakdown caused by a lack of vitamin K1. Now he is two months and six days old, and he is currently undergoing rehabilitation, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and physical therapy. An MRI showed a small amount of blood in his arachnoid. Is there a possibility of a complete recovery for a baby of this size?Doctor's answer:
The baby just turned one month old and has again shown symptoms of brain hemorrhage, including projectile vomiting, poor appetite, and unequal pupils on both sides. This is not due to a head injury. After treatment, the baby has epilepsy and subarachnoid hemorrhage, which have not yet fully resolved. Given the baby's current condition, it is likely that neurological sequelae may remain. It is recommended to provide the baby with rehabilitation treatment on an irregular basis to minimize and reduce the recurrence of sequelae. The above suggestions are for the question "My baby, who just turned one month old." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
