Patient's question:
The baby is premature, gestational age 352, born on August 31st, currently five months old, and currently has a head circumference of 36.7! The hospital conducted a thorough examination and said the head is small, suggesting an MRI should be done! Is it necessary to do it? If not, can it be managed with care?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is recommended to improve the cranial MRI to clarify the intracranial condition and rule out the possibility of a smaller head circumference caused by brain problems. If the baby has a small head, check if the fontanelles are prematurely closed. If developmental delays are observed again, a cranial examination may be necessary. This condition may also be related to intergenerational inheritance. The key is to identify the cause and provide targeted treatment. Do not delay the baby's condition.
