Question

The newborn (born on July 22, 2018) is now five months old, weighing 4.9 jin (approximately 2.45 kg) at a normal delivery and currently stands at 65 centimeters tall. At birth, there was mild respiratory distress and a lump on the top of the head. After several days of hospital observation, the baby was discharged. Due to respiratory distress and the lump, an MRI was performed. The MRI report indicated abnormal signals in the posterior part of the corpus callosum and around the posterior horns of the lateral ventricles on both sides. The doctor said that there was no major issue, and that this result alone did not explain anything, suggesting a follow-up examination. A follow-up MRI was done yesterday, and the preliminary report has been received today; the formal report is not yet out. How should one interpret the current report content? Is there a problem? What are the potential risks? How should treatment be approached?
