Paucity of White Matter in Brain

My grand daughter ( born on 19th December 2006 ) who is 22 months old at present, is having problem in controling her movements. She even can not hold her neck. MRI report dated 17-1-2008 reads as under :-
"There is paucity of white matter with thinning of corpus callosum. Posterior fossa shows large cystic area not communicating with the 4th. ventricle. Ventricular system is normal. No evidence of intra / extra axial hemorrhage. There is no evidence of recent or remote infarct. Pituitary gland and optic chiasm are normal. 7th & 8th nerve complexes are normal & symmetrical bilaterally.
Impression :- MR features described favour white matter hypoplasia with Dandy Walker variant in the posterior fossa. Comparison with the previous study of May 2007 shows no interval change".
Can any one help us in guiding as what to do in treatment of the baby. Thanks.

I'm assuming you saw a neurologist for this????  My little guy's MRI showed  'decreased white brain matter' which there was really nothing we can do for it.  The neurologist said it was very minimal and may or may not affect him. He has several delays so we are receiving physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, vision therapy, and were doing water therapy. Is your granddaughter receiving any type of therapy?  What state do you live in?  Every state has a program for early intervention.  Here in Missouri, it's called First Steps and it's for any income level- my little guys therapists see kids where both parents are attorneys and they live in million dollar homes and those who have nothing and everything in between.  Check out what your state has for a program.  They provide therapists who will come to your house and work with your child for FREE or very minimal fee. For example, the first year was free and the second and third years we had to pay $6.66 a month.  

As for what you should do...I would check with your pediatrician- they should be up to date on your state's program.  Your pediatrician should also be able to guide you what therapies would be best for her.  A neurologist (a pediatric neurologist would be the best option if one is available) would be best for explaining what the exact report means. Your pediatrician could probably also explain it.  I would definately ask the doctors what type of therapy would be best!  Good luck.
