Question
The child is 9 years old and has been diagnosed with white matter lesion, unable to care for themselves. Is there a treatment method available?
Answer
The patient’s age is beyond the critical period of brain development. The current main treatment method is education, with limited effects from medical intervention. It is recommended to undergo an intelligence test. If there is only mild intellectual impairment, there is still a chance to train self-care abilities; if there is moderate to severe intellectual impairment and epilepsy, the prognosis may be poor.
