How should congenital brain development disorders be treated? What should be done for children with underdeveloped brains, and how can the best treatment be administered?
Answers
Congenital brain development disorders refer to injuries to the brain during the growth and development process. Medically, this time frame is limited to the fetal and neonatal periods. If beyond this age, even if symptoms of cerebral palsy are caused by various reasons, they cannot be diagnosed as cerebral palsy. For example, a 5-year-old child’s hemiplegia due to intracranial hemorrhage after a brain injury should be diagnosed as a sequelae of post-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage. Additionally, if a newborn has hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, the symptoms of cerebral palsy cannot be diagnosed as such due to the clear etiology, and should be referred to as sequelae of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. The treatment methods for congenital brain development disorders need to be determined based on specific situations, so it is best to consult with a professional doctor for detailed evaluation and guidance. Please seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor’s advice for treatment.
