Question
What should be done when a newborn’s CT shows slightly low substantial density on both sides?
Answer
Hello, according to the newborn’s CT report at birth, there are signs of ischemia and hypoxia, resulting in the brain density being lower. As the child grows and develops, these symptoms usually gradually return to normal, so there is no need to be overly concerned. Children with this condition may have slower intellectual development compared to their peers. The main symptoms include delayed development in motor and language abilities, such as a child not being able to speak or move normally at around 4 to 5 years old, 6 to 7 years old, or even around 10 years old. In addition, children may also develop more slowly in areas such as understanding, calculation, memory, observation, analysis, thinking, and imagination, as well as social adaptation skills.
