Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your niece's symptoms. The information provided is very sketchy and we can not give you a good opinion based on this.

I would request you to upload the CT scan report.

Possible causes in a 4 year old could be infection such as tuberculosis or a tumor. MRI scan would resolve the diagnosis and then a treatment plan can be worked out.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
     
Best wishes,
