Patient's question:
On the second day of the baby's birth, the doctor asked to have a CT scan done. After the results came out, they took them to the doctor to be reviewed. The doctor said it was hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. The doctor said there wasn't anything serious and that the baby needed to be hospitalized for treatment.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, the cranial CT of the newborn baby who is two days old shows hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. It is estimated that the baby experienced asphyxia during birth, and asphyxia can lead to the occurrence of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. If it is only mild hypoxia, there is no need to worry. It is recommended to be hospitalized for further standardized treatment to prevent the occurrence of sequelae. You should first carefully observe your child's condition and avoid any major movements in the near future.
