Hypodensity brain

[masolzer]

A week ago I took my 1 year daughter to the clinic with fever and high temperature, 39 deg. While we were waiting for the doctor, her left arm and her right leg started shaking so badly that we thought she is gonna have stroke.

The Paedetrician decided to a CT scans to examine the brain. The CT scan results showed hypodensity on the right side of the brain. After two days in the clinic he decided to do MRI scans which confirmed the CT results. The Paed said this could mean a brain damage and he prescribed an Epilim medicine that should be taken for 18months.

The Neurologist also came to check the results and he said there is nothing serious about the results but the Paedetrician is telling us about brain damaged, who is right between the two?

Please tell me, how serious is the baby's condition? The leg is now workig properly but the hand is still weak. Will this child be normal like others?

Babies at one year of age normally have "hypodense" brains.

You should take your doctor to a pediatric neurologist and get an answer.  

Good luck to you.  I wish your daughter the best.
