Welcome to Health care magic.
1. The report suggest that there is area of infarct in the middle cerebral artery territory - means the blood vessel ( MCA - middle cerebral artery) had block and blood supply has been stopped.
2.The reason could be after any infection changes in the blood has caused blood clot and that clot has blocked the vessel ( possible cause only )
3.The bones of the skull and rest of the brain appears normal - according to the report.
4.There is no collection of the blood noted in the brain.
5.Its an emergency condition needs immediate action - life threatening problem hope by the time you read it baby had got the treatment. Good luck.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
