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 slight widening of the subarachnoid space in the frontal lobe. Is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

This is generally related to hypoxia of the brain. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be considered. This situation may not be very serious. It mainly depends on the baby's overall condition. Local doctors will provide you with sincere advice. Follow the doctor's recommendations. Generally, 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 formal hospital for examination and treatment.
