What Are The Symptoms For High Probability Of Fluid In Brain Of An Infant?
Our one year old great- grand daughter has a high probability of fluid on her brain. That was told to her parents today by a doctor in Iowa City. She has no symptoms except for her head size. Her development is on or ahead of schedule, she is active, strong and very alert, eye contact above average....etc. Her body weight and height is in the 50% (possibly less) or so range, her head size in the 100th percentile. I have no other details. What are the possibilities here. Her parents are to take her back to Iowa City for an MRI next week. Of course we are very concerned.

Hi
welcome to HealthCareMagic
if development of baby is normal ,chances of any abnomal finding in MRI scan are very less .But as Head size is higher side of normal ,one needs to rule out any pathology.Hope MRI comes normal.
