Patient's question:
My daughter is now two months old. She was born at only 35 weeks. Also, her head was quite large, and a brain CT scan was performed, but the results were unclear. She was told to come back for a follow-up check-up in two months. I would like to ask if premature infants should still have a brain CT scan during follow-up?Doctor's answer:
Premature infants may have some abnormalities after birth. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a check-up at some point. For newborns, brain MRI is better, but it is more expensive, and has relatively less impact on the infant. Premature infants may suffer from intracranial hemorrhage due to vitamin deficiency, so it is also important to attend health check-ups on time and address any abnormalities promptly. A check-up is necessary. That's it. Wishing your baby good health.
