Patient's question:
The baby was born prematurely at 34 weeks and 5 days, and the CT report suggests possible brain damage. I want to know if this is already confirmed brain damage or if further diagnosis is needed. If it is brain damage, how severe is it?Doctor's answer:
First, it's important to determine whether there is in-utero aspiration or hypoxia of the infant's brain during labor. If brain cell damage is caused by aspiration, which may lead to cerebral palsy, it is recommended to undergo hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The severity of the condition depends on the final outcome. Therefore, there is no need to worry too much at the moment. After thorough examination, it is essential to actively seek treatment options and take prompt measures to rectify the situation.
