My niece who is 7 months old is very very week and under weight.
Very little flesh on her body. Her bones of whole body are fully
visible in shapes and sizes. After her birth, she was very normal
rather a little overweight. but only within few days, she started
losing weight and hence after one month reached to a weight that
alarmed us all.
Then we got to the hospital and got her admitted. She was tested
in various ways (blood test, urine test, X-ray, eyes test, ear
test etc) and all tests showed normal activity. But she actually
neither responds to voice nor to light or movement around her
eyes. voice, movement or light are like nothing for her and she
does not show any gesture that can show us that she has sensed
these things. But she senses touch of people.
Keeping her this condition in view, doctor prescribed EEG test
for her and that has been done now. The contents of the EEG
report are reproduced below for your review

by 16-18 Hz beta activity of moderate voltages in a diffuse
manner.
