Patient's question:
The baby was born on April 10, 2011, due to the mother suffering from preeclampsia, with a Cesarean delivery at 39 weeks. This was the first child. The umbilical cord was wrapped around the neck once, the placenta was small, and the birth weight was 2.65 kilograms. All scores were 10 points. However, the baby was hospitalized for 29 days due to aspiration pneumonia at birth. Now the baby is 5 and a half months old, and the head control is not very good. The baby can roll from supine to prone but cannot be made to laugh or grasp objects. Due to stridor, the baby often chokes while feeding, which repeatedly causes bronchopneumonia. The amount of milk intake has gradually decreased. Head circumference is 35.5 cm, height is 57 cm, and weight is 4.5 kilograms, which is severely below standard.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the clinical data you provided, the 6-month-old baby has an abnormality in chromosome 7. After repeatedly reviewing the literature, we could not determine the specific type of genetic disease, and it is considered to be a rare genetic disorder. It is recommended to go to a higher-level hospital for a health assessment to further confirm the condition.We know that pediatric genetic metabolic diseases have a significant impact on children. If they are not treated in time or if the treatment method is incorrect, the condition can progress rapidly, causing great harm to the child. Therefore, it is essential to seek professional medical treatment in a formal hospital, as this is the key.
