Patient's question:
When the baby was born, it was often in a very excited state. After the doctor's examination, they told us that the baby had neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. What causes neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy?Doctor's answer:
The baby has been extremely excited since birth, unlike other babies who often sleep. Moreover, every time I hold him, he becomes even more excited. Could my baby have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)? After the doctor performed a cranial CT scan on the baby, they observed scattered, focal low-density shadows distributed in two brain lobes, indicating neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. We were very scared, but the doctor reassured us that the baby's condition is only mild and that with proper treatment, he would recover quickly.
