Question
If a baby with high-risk factors develops brain swelling, does it lead to the appearance of multiple abnormal signals in the CT scan?
Answer
According to the description, the presence of high-risk factors in the baby may lead to hypoxic or ischemic brain damage, which in turn can manifest as abnormal signals on the CT scan. However, these signals may gradually diminish and recover over time. The final assessment should be based on the baby’s own developmental status, whether there is developmental delay, and regular health checks to monitor neurodevelopment. If parents are concerned, it is recommended to schedule a brain MRI for the baby next time, as it has less radiation and provides a clearer diagnosis.
