Can there be a treatment for white matter lesions in the brain that cannot take care of themselves?

Patient's question:

Unable to take care of oneself, 2006, epilepsy, Peking Union Medical College Hospital

Doctor's answer:

The child is already 9 years old, and the critical period for brain development has passed. Currently, the main treatment is education, and the effectiveness of medical intervention is limited. Have you had an intelligence test? If there is mild retardation, there is hope for independent living. If it is moderate to severe and combined with epilepsy, the prognosis may be poor. We know that pediatric neurology diseases have a significant impact on children. If treatment is not timely or the wrong method is used, the condition can progress rapidly, causing great harm to the patient. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to the child's condition and seek timely treatment.
