Patient's question:
Born male, 40 days old. CT result shows decreased density in bilateral frontal lobe white matter. CT value is approximately 15 HU. History of treatment and effectiveness: At 5 days, CT scan showed neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.Doctor's answer:
Weak muscle tone is caused by hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy in the brain. Generally, it is recommended to treat hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy with at least three courses. Cerebrolysin or ganglioside preparations can be used to promote brain recovery. Early rehabilitation treatment is essential. Whether the child will have sequelae is currently difficult to estimate. However, with active treatment, the chance of developing sequelae can be minimized as much as possible.
