Is there any treatment for brain atrophy?
Patient: 5 month old baby has been diagnosed with brain atrophy, he gets seizures, he has hearing loss. they have him on sterioids...is this ok to give a baby? what does this mean for my son? any treatment? is there a life span for brain atrophy? do you recomend any hospital? Doctor: Hello!My name is Dr. Aida and I am glad to attend you on Healthcaremagic!Your son symptoms seem to be related to serious neurological disorders (epilepsy syndrome).It is OK to give steroids in such clinical condition, as they may help stop seizures and improve his situation. Anyway, it is difficult to judge on his future situation, based on what you refer. Genetic tests may be necessary. You should discuss with his doctor on the above issues and the exact diagnosis. Hope you will find this answer helpful!Best wishes!
