Question
The newborn’s bilirubin level was measured at 340, but there was no improvement after medication and light therapy. The baby is currently hospitalized and the bilirubin level has decreased to 108. The doctor suggested undergoing a brain MRI. What are the results of the examination and do I need to be hospitalized for rehabilitation?
Answer
The brain MRI showed basal ganglia VRS enlargement, but the brainstem evoked potentials were normal. The doctor recommended further investigation into the cause, implementation of brain rehabilitation training, and regular health checks to track growth and development.
