Hello,
Gliosis plus hypodense and hyperdense things are suggestive of hypertrophy and atrophy of glial cells that occurs due to necrosis of glial cells. So, it is a little bit alarming situation. You can even go to neurophysician and developmental delay is also associated with this problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
