Question
My daughter is 48 days old, and the CT scan shows reduced brain parenchymal density with a CT value of about 13HU-14HU. Additionally, there is slight widening in the subarachnoid cleft of the frontal and parietal regions. Is this normal?
Answer
This condition is generally related to brain hypoxia. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be considered. This situation may not be very serious. It mainly depends on the baby’s general condition. Your local doctor will provide you with reasonable advice. Follow the doctor’s recommendations. Generally, there are no serious consequences. If not treated actively, the baby may experience developmental delays, motor or neurological sequelae. It is recommended that you choose to go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment.
