Diagnosis and Treatment of Delayed Onset Brain Disease

Discussing the treatment approaches and risk of sequelae for neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy

A newborn appears blue all over at birth and stabilizes after 1 minute and 40 seconds of emergency treatment. Considering the possibility of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, it is recommended to undergo a CT scan as soon as possible to check for the condition. If diagnosed, treatment should be initiated promptly.

A child in Beijing was diagnosed with a diffuse white matter demyelination change, known as spongy brain disease, and in Harbin, with fibrous protein malnutrition. Currently, the child has good vision and a quick response to stimuli, but experiences coordination issues while walking and running. The head is slightly larger, and the inability to speak was noticed when the child was two years old. Parents are inquiring about suitable medication treatments and daily dietary recommendations.

Introduction to the clinical manifestations and treatment process of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)

Neonatal hypoxia may lead to ischemic hypoxic brain disease and cause sequelae such as hydrocephalus. Treatment includes nourishing brain cells and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Doctors provide an analysis and treatment recommendations for the symptoms in a two-year-old infant.
