How to treat decreased density of brain parenchyma

Patient's question:

My daughter is 48 days old. The current CT diagnosis shows decreased density in the brain parenchyma, with a CT value of approximately 13HU-14HU. Additionally, there is mild widening of the subarachnoid space in the frontal lobe. Is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

This is generally related to hypoxia in the brain. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be considered. This condition may not be very serious. It mainly depends on the baby's overall condition. Local doctors will provide you with sound advice. Follow the doctor's recommendations. Usually, there are no serious consequences. If not treated actively, the baby may develop developmental delays, motor, or neurological sequelae. It is recommended that you choose to go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment.
