Question
Experts, Guo Yajie is a 5-year-old boy who suffered a brain injury at birth. He could only start walking at the age of 2 and is still unable to speak. MRI scans show his brain myelination is underdeveloped. I would like to know if this condition is cerebral palsy and which hospital is the best for this.
Answer
Myelination delay at this age is often caused by hypoxia-related delayed encephalopathy. If proper treatment measures are not taken in time, delayed blood supply can lead to further neural damage, neurodegeneration, and severe cerebral palsy. Therefore, treatment and rehabilitation should focus on finding the cause and conducting qualitative diagnosis. At the same time, nutrition and neural stimulation are crucial for regenerating and repairing myelin, as well as reducing the severity of cerebral palsy. It must be emphasized that rehabilitation exercises cannot improve neural function, and an effective treatment plan must be developed through personal consultation with experts.
