Patient's question:
When the child was 47 days old, it was discovered that the child always clenched their fists and cried, crying for hours on end, sometimes day and night. On the 50th day, a CT scan was performed, and it was diagnosed as mild neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Is it necessary to have another CT scan at 18 months?Doctor's answer:
Hello. This is for the parent. Your baby had mild hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy during the neonatal period, which is likely to cause certain damage to the baby's brain cells. It is very necessary to have another head CT scan. Neonatal hypoxia not only severely threatens the life of the newborn but is also one of the most common causes of disability after the neonatal period. Early to bed and early to rise. Properly exercise your child's gross motor skills. While undergoing intensive treatment, it is also important to keep your child in a cheerful and optimistic mindset.
