Question
My baby vomited dryly at the age of one month, like an adult, and had convulsions the third morning after. We rushed him to the hospital for a thorough examination. At that time, his pupils were dilated, and after careful examination, we found that he had a cerebral herniation. During the blood tests, we noticed that his coagulation function was not good, and he couldn’t stop bleeding. Later, we performed a drainage surgery, and the amount of subarachnoid hemorrhage was about 50 milliliters. Since he was breastfed exclusively, there were no scratches in his brain. The diagnosis was a spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage due to vitamin K1 deficiency. Now, two months and six days later, he is currently undergoing rehabilitation therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and physical therapy. A magnetic resonance imaging showed very little blood in his subarachnoid space. Is there a possibility that he can completely recover at his age?
Answer
The baby vomited again at one month of age with symptoms of cerebral hemorrhage, projectile vomiting, anorexia, and unequal pupils in both eyes, not due to a cerebral hemorrhage. After treatment, the baby has had convulsions and subarachnoid bleeding, and has not fully recovered. Given the current condition of the baby, it is likely that he will have neurological sequelae. It is recommended to regularly perform rehabilitation therapy for the baby to minimize or reduce the risk of recurrence of sequelae. The advice provided above for the question “My baby vomited dryly at the age of one month” is intended to be helpful and hope it will contribute to your well-being! Best wishes!
