Brain MRI result (Motor skill developmental delay - solutions)
by Nejat, Oct 07, 2008 08:21AM
I have a 16 months old daughter to whom I gave birth in C Section. There were complications (Intrauterine cerebral ischemia, I believe is the medical words) and she used to take several medications including IV. She made a brain MRI and the diagnosis reads as follows:
"Protocol:
Axial T1, T2 & FLAIR; Sagittal T1&T2 and Coronal T2 scanning of the brain are performed without contrast media.
Findings:
Both lateral ventricles and third ventricle are grossly dilated with elevation and thinning of the corpus collasum. There is also bilateral perisylvian abnormal development of frontal and temporal gyrus with widened sulci and loss of corticomedullary differentiation.
The basal ganglia and thalami are splayed by dilated ventricles otherwise the brain stem and cerebellar hemispheres are intact. The fourth ventricle has normal size and shape. The orbits, temporal region, Sella and perisellar regions are normal. There are normal flow voids on both carotid and basilar arteries. The visible Para nasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are clear. Cranio vertebral junction is also normal."
She has not still crawled, talked, walked. She has also gross esotropia and she doesn't seem to see from far and also with concentration.
I am worried about her and that if there is any solution for her, I want to try because I don't want to miss any opportunity she will have. I also think that any treatment that will be available could be at an early age, which is her age now, and don't want to pass by the possible solution. So please I need help! help! starting from what to do to the maximum solution.
