Hi, Thanks for writing in. The human brain develops even after birth. In the first few months, the brain development is seen to occur in the form of myelination. Brain is a very sensitive organ and very often, if part of the brain does not develop adequately, the effects remain for long. In your daughter s MRI brain, the report mentions about decrease in white matter with thinning of corpus callosum and mild diffuse cerebral volume loss with the cause being put as (?vascular) injury when she was inside her mother. These findings mean that there might have been mild developmental brain injury and at some point in time, the brain development slowed down. This could be due to many reasons. Your child s growth needs to be followed very closely and supervised by a pediatric neurologist and if desired by them, a child psychiatry team. At 8 months it is very difficult to predict exactly how your child will develop, but the prognosis to these conditions is very good if detected early. Resources are available in plenty on Google scholar but you must discuss your child s condition with your doctor because he will have to clinically examine your daughter regularly and then guide you in treatment. The final diagnosis can only be made after careful detailed examination. Hope this helps.
