Patient's question:
MRI of the brain shows abnormal signals in the left temporal-parietal lobe and reduced branching of distal arteries. The diagnosis is neonatal brain infarction. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
1、A child of such a young age suffering from a stroke requires active investigation into the cause, which may be due to congenital vascular developmental abnormalities, and it is also necessary to rule out hereditary metabolic diseases. It is recommended to conduct blood and urine metabolic screening and testing for mitochondrial-related genes.2、Frontal lobe infarction accompanied by brain atrophy. Pay attention to the child's hearing on one side, as the unaffected side can compensate, making it difficult to detect issues. It is recommended to perform auditory evoked potential testing.
3、Active rehabilitation training is still needed, and close monitoring of the clinical condition is necessary.
