Patient's question:
Found her head tilted backward, hands behind her back, and not turning her head much to find the sound. Had a CT scan. The result was brain underdevelopment. Now undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy and cerebrolysin infusion. Wondering if this can be cured? Are there better methods? What can we do at home?Doctor's answer:
Brain underdevelopment is related to a child's intellectual development. Children with this condition generally exhibit delayed intellectual development. Intelligence testing may show moderate or sub-average scores. Alongside intellectual delays, there are significant impairments in abilities related to intelligence, such as hearing, comprehension, and verbal skills. If a baby has poor responsiveness to sounds, delayed reactions to external stimuli, or speech impairments, these are symptoms of brain underdevelopment.Stagnant physical development: Children with brain underdevelopment may also experience delayed physical growth.
