Question
The baby was born prematurely at 34 weeks and 5 days. A CT scan shows a suspected brain injury. Do I need to get a re-diagnosis? If it is a brain injury, is it severe?
Answer
Firstly, it’s important to understand if there was intrauterine aspiration or if the baby experienced oxygen deficiency during labor. If the brain cells are damaged due to aspiration, it may lead to cerebral palsy. In such cases, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is recommended, and the severity depends on the final results. So, don’t worry too much about the current situation. After a thorough examination, actively seek treatment methods and take immediate measures to compensate for the damage.
