Question
Hello, my 5-month-old baby recently discovered that his left hand is slightly outwardly deviated and both feet are slightly inwardly curved. After the doctor’s examination, it was said that the frontal and temporal sulci of his brain were widened, indicating mild developmental defects. What should we do?
Answer
I suggest observing for a period of time, as children are still in the stage of development and some motor features may not be definitively pathological yet. This is just my personal opinion. It mainly depends on whether there are any abnormalities in clinical practice. I recommend supplementing the child with brain-nourishing medication, regularly conducting early rehabilitation training, and regularly visiting pediatric neurology clinics for professional examinations to observe the development of the baby’s nervous system and motor system. Generally speaking, babies are relatively small, and the prognosis should be good.
