Patient's question:
After 20 days of intravenous infusion, the CT imaging findings showed: widened bilateral frontal sulci, slightly enlarged fissures of the brain, slightly enlarged ventricular system, no obvious abnormal density areas in the cerebral parenchyma on each section, and the midline structures were centralized. Currently, my daughter Dou Dou is doing well in all aspects, with good spirits and appetite. Is it cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
6 months of being able to sit independently should be quite good. Treatment is not needed for now. Monitor closely. Compare with the developmental milestones of children born in the same month. There is a lot of information available online. Subdural effusion is mostly unilateral. If bilateral, it is asymmetrical. The inner part of the skull plate shows a "crescent-shaped" low-density area. The adjacent brain surface is compressed and flattened. The sulci become shallow and flat. There is a mass effect. Since the arachnoid membrane is located on the inner side of the dura mater, when the subarachnoid space widens, it is closer to the inner skull plate. On enhanced scans, it shows point-like vascular shadows (veins) adjacent to the inner skull plate. However, in subdural effusion, as the arachnoid membrane is pushed inward, the vascular shadows are farther away from the inner skull plate.
