Question
My son is 1 year old, and he was diagnosed with mild intracranial hemorrhage in the hospital a couple of days ago. However, I’m not sure if it’s severe or if it poses a risk to his life. Can you tell me if mild intracranial hemorrhage in newborns is serious?
Answer
If the intracranial hemorrhage cannot be fully absorbed, the hemorrhagic tissue in the brain may cause epilepsy seizures. If accompanied by brain hypoxia, it also depends on the degree of hypoxia and its impact on brain damage. If the injury is severe, the possibility of sequelae is greater; if the injury is minor, the possibility of sequelae is smaller. Regardless of whether there are sequelae, after the condition stabilizes, the brain should be nourished as soon as possible to promote the absorption of the hemorrhage and facilitate a quick recovery.
