Question
I recently underwent a CT scan at the hospital, and the transverse section of the brain showed slightly widened sulci in both temporal lobes and slightly enlarged ventricles on both sides, with no other abnormal density shadows observed. Do I need special treatment? Can I receive the Japanese encephalitis vaccine? Urgent! Thank you!
Answer
Poor brain development may lead to delays in a baby’s motor or intellectual development. Generally, no special treatment is required; instead, it is mainly promoted through various stimuli and training to enhance brain cell development. During regular pediatric check-ups, it is important to timely understand whether the baby’s development is normal. If the baby is not ill, they can receive the Japanese encephalitis vaccine. Common causes of poor brain development include abnormal brain development during embryonic stage, maternal infection with certain diseases during pregnancy, difficult labor, birth injuries, neonatal intracranial hemorrhage, high fever seizures, carbon monoxide poisoning, encephalitis, meningitis, head trauma, and genetic factors. If the baby is diagnosed with poor brain development, it is essential to seek treatment at a regular pediatric hospital to avoid delaying the condition.
