Question
My child has been crying frequently lately and shows a lack of appetite. What are the causes of poor infant brain development?
Answer
Brain atrophy refers to a group of neurological and psychiatric disorders that occur due to organic changes in the brain tissue itself, leading to shrinkage. This includes pediatric brain atrophy, adult brain atrophy, and is more common in the elderly. The main clinical symptoms of atrophy are dementia, particularly in the elderly, who are prone to senile dementia. Generally, it is caused by insufficient blood supply to the brain, cerebral vascular sclerosis, trauma, and other reasons, making treatment more complicated. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be attempted.
