How to treat delayed myelination of white matter?

Patient's question:

My son is 7 years old this year. Since he was very young, he has been different from other children. It was found that there is slightly increased T2 signal in the bilateral occipital horns of the ventricles and delayed myelination of the white matter. How is it treated?

Doctor's answer:

Delayed myelination of white matter in the brain indicates damage to the central nervous system. It may be related to brain hypoxia affecting the growth and development of brain tissue. This condition can lead to abnormal intellectual development in children, severely impacting their normal lives. Active rehabilitation treatment is necessary, and some neurotrophic drugs can be used, which may result in certain sequelae. It is recommended to engage children in more language and other exercises regularly to significantly improve their quality of life.
