Patient's question:
The baby was born five days ago and was reported to have mild respiratory distress and mild palatal cleft at birth. The Apgar score was 7, 10, and 10. The baby was admitted to the neonatal department and fed through a gastric tube. Today's MRI showed bilateral white matter of the brain with long T1 and long T2 signals, and low signals on the fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images. However, there are no clinical diagnostic symptoms. Is this serious? Should the baby be admitted to the hospital and given ganglioside nutrition to support brain cell health?Doctor's answer:
After the child was born, the score was seven minutes later, considering mild respiratory distress in newborns. Ten minutes later, the score was very likely that the child's prognosis was good, with few sequelae. Neurotrophic drugs are best used for about a week to prevent future brain damage in the child.
