Myelin development retardation

When a child is born, it brings a lot of joy to the family. Although it is very hard to take care of the child, the child still brings a lot of joy to everyone. When watching the child grow up day by day, many parents will feel particularly happy. Hypomyelination is a relatively common brain disease. When a child suffers from this disease, it will have a lot of impact on his or her physical health.

Symptom 1:

Myelin hypoplasia, that is, cerebral white matter hypoplasia. The possible reason is that during the myelination process, due to the influence of genetic factors or a genetic enzyme defect, myelination formation is impaired, thus affecting the development of brain white matter.

Symptom 2:

Children may experience developmental delay, convulsions, ataxia, nystagmus, optic atrophy, cortical blindness and sensorineural hearing loss. Delayed myelination is a form of brain malformation that can lead to autism. You can take drugs such as cerebrolysin and ganglioside to promote brain recovery.

Symptom three:

Tendon sheath is a symptom caused by incomplete development of the joints and joint connections. Timely self-regulation and traditional Chinese medicine are related to insufficient qi and blood, and can be regulated by combining Chinese and Western medicine. Local massage and timely self-regulation can be used, but treatment requires a process.

Precautions

Delayed myelin development is a manifestation of brain hypoplasia. It occurs due to respiratory distress and brain hypoxia at birth. It mainly emphasizes early comprehensive and systematic treatment. Patients can go to professional rehabilitation institutions for systematic rehabilitation treatment. The earlier the treatment, the better the prognosis.

The harm of delayed myelination

1. Abnormal behavior

The abnormal behavior of children with cerebral hypoplasia is manifested as personality changes, such as stubbornness, hyperactivity, impulsivity, social withdrawal, compulsive behavior, aggressive behavior and even self-harm. Common compulsive behaviors in children with cerebral hypoplasia can be manifested at the age of 2. They actively perform repetitive inherent movements, such as checking, repeating sorting and arranging movements, repeated head movements and reaching hands, repeating words, anxiety and mechanical repetitive operation behaviors, and also have fear emotions.

In addition, it may also manifest as selective mutism, which is mainly characterized by refusal to contact and speak with others. This disease is related to differences in human temperament and biological susceptibility, and is often accompanied by anxiety, panic, fear of being noticed, worry about social discrimination and terror.

2. Understanding the damage

Children's cognitive functions involve many aspects such as learning ability, intelligence, memory and attention. Such as memory impairment, difficulty learning new things, remembering and concentrating. Cognitive impairment is one of the important factors affecting the quality of life of children. The cognitive function of children mainly depends on the degree of brain damage, and genetic and environmental factors also play a certain role; in addition, the emotions and behaviors of children can also affect the realization of learning potential.

3. Leading to multiple complications

Warning: Failure to promptly treat cerebral maldevelopment will lead to a variety of complications, seriously affecting the child's health and future life, study, and work. Complications caused by cerebral hypoplasia mainly include:

1. Epileptic seizures:

At least 10% to 40% of children experience epileptic seizures at different ages, with spastic quadriplegia, hemiplegia and monoplegia and mental retardation being more common, while athetoid and ataxia are rare.

2. Orofacial and dental dysfunction:

About 25% of children with cerebral palsy have weak sucking, difficulty swallowing and chewing, poor lip closure, frequent drooling, and some suffer from dental caries or incomplete tooth development. These symptoms are more common in children with athetoid arthritis.

3. Emotional and behavioral disorders:

Most children with cerebral palsy have abnormal emotions or behaviors, which are related to impaired brain function. A large amount of experimental and clinical data show that when the brain's limbic system, especially the hippocampus, is damaged, it can cause emotional abnormalities in children. Children with the disease often show symptoms such as being crybaby, willful, stubborn, withdrawn, having a strange temper, being emotionally fragile, and easily excited. Some have a sense of happiness and emotional instability. Children with the athetoid type are more common.
