Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My niece is 6 weeks old weighs 10 lbs, has has no past medical history and the doctors say she has 2 holes in the front portion of her brain. She also has 12 fractures. They are looking into possible Osteogensis imperfecta to explain the fractures, but they are considering abuse. One fracture is in the skull. I dont know how large it is. Are holes in the brain more likely to be congenital or is that something that is commonly caused with abuse
hi, chances of osteogenesis imperfecta are quite high. In case of abuse, skin swelling along with hematoma and fracture are present and fracture at brain is least likely. Take care.
