Patient's question:
When the child was 47 days old, it was discovered that the child always cried while clenched in fists, crying for hours on end, sometimes day and night. On the 50th day, a CT scan was performed, and the diagnosis was mild neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Is it necessary to have another CT scan at 18 months old?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this parent, your baby had mild hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy during the neonatal period, which is very likely to cause certain damage to the baby's brain cells. It is very necessary to do a head CT scan again. Neonatal hypoxia not only severely threatens the life of newborns but is also one of the most common causes of disability after the neonatal period. Early to bed and early to rise, appropriately exercise your child's gross motor skills. While undergoing intensive treatment, it is also important to keep your child in a cheerful state of mind and an optimistic mood.
