How should we deal with the widening of the extracranial space between the bilateral temporal and frontal lobes?

Patient's question:

No shift of the midline of the brain at all levels, no significant abnormalities were observed in the ventricular system. Imaging diagnosis: widened extracranial space in the bilateral temporal and frontal regions, follow-up is recommended. Is this condition congenital or acquired? Will it affect the baby's intelligence? How is it treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Treatment is based on different individuals and different diseases, with varying treatment approaches depending on the duration of the illness, the presence or absence of complications, as well as the patient's overall health condition and the different techniques and methods used. This directly affects each person's specific treatment plan. Clinical CT is commonly used for diagnosis. It is often seen in newborns with frontal temporal lobe developmental issues, where the gaps cannot fully synchronize with skull growth. If other diseases or factors such as intracranial pressure are ruled out, there is no need to be overly concerned.
