Patient's question:
The child has mild intellectual disability, which was diagnosed at Changzhou Hospital. The blood test results for trace elements are normal. The child struggles with learning and memory, and cannot understand the teacher's lessons. My mother-in-law has delusional parasitosis, and my husband may also have intellectual disability. Could genetic testing for the child in Shanghai reveal the cause of the condition? Does the adult also need to undergo the test? Which hospital should I go to for this?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it may be caused by cerebral palsy, influenced by adverse factors during pregnancy. Issues such as hypoxia during delivery or mechanical injury, or acquired encephalitis, could also lead to this condition. There is no particularly effective treatment method, but traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation therapy combined with neurotrophic drugs can help alleviate the progression of the condition. Physical rehabilitation exercises can also aid in restoring motor function. If necessary, surgical intervention or stem cell transplantation may be considered as treatment options.
