Brief Answer:
looks like damage due to less blood supply

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
I have seen the attached report.
There is definitely damage done to brain due to decreased blood supply to brain.

This according to the report would have occurred slowly rather than a sudden attack like stroke.

There could be multiple reasons like blood vessel disorders, clotting disorder or conditions which cause blood thickening, etc.

It is better to follow up with your neurologist for further blood work up to identify the causes.

Wishing your child speedy recovery.
Regards
Dr Arun
