How is the widening of the subdural space on both sides of the forehead and temporal region treated in a seven-month-old baby?

Patient's question:

Able to sit alone for less than half an hour, he can jump by himself, and his sharp feet are stable. His hands are still slightly outward. When called, he will smile, but he will never turn his head to look back like other children.
What kind of help is needed: I have been calling him for several times, but he only started treatment at seven months. Besides the possibility of not recovering, he will never turn his head to look for someone when called. Or, given his current recovery status, could it affect his intelligence? I hope for a reply. Thank you very much.

Doctor's answer:

CT scan of the child's head: widened subdural space on both frontal and temporal regions, slightly blurred adjacent sulci, and affecting the development of the nervous system. The child was treated at 7 months, which is indeed a bit late. Generally, the nervous system development occurs after birth at around 3 months, and intervention at this time tends to be more effective. Currently, you are undergoing rehabilitation training and achieving results, which is great. It's not too severe and should be fully recoverable. Focus on standardized treatment and don't give up.
