Symptoms of pituitary hypoplasia in children

If a child's pituitary gland is underdeveloped, he or she will obviously show various adverse symptoms, such as a flat forehead, low intelligence, or stagnation of physical development. Parents should also pay attention to observe these symptoms and take timely treatment measures.

Symptom 1 of brain dysplasia: obvious appearance characteristics

Brain maldevelopment can actually be reflected in appearance. Generally, children with brain maldevelopment have flat foreheads, which is a manifestation of poor brain development. Therefore, there is a description of the forehead in Chinese physiognomy. If the forehead is full, it means that the person is smart and naturally has a better destiny.

At the same time, children with cerebral dysplasia will have a noticeably flat nose bridge and wide nose wings, making them look dull and lifeless. If you observe a child's eyes, you will find that the distance between them is quite large and the corners of the eyes are slanted upwards. Moreover, in daily life, children are accustomed to half-opening their mouths. If their tongues are exposed, they will be found to be larger and have cracks on them.

In addition, children with brain dysplasia will also have certain characteristics in their limbs, such as shorter limbs, short and thick fingers, and slight deformities in the fingers or toes. A small number of children with brain dysplasia also have genital dysplasia.

Symptom 2 of brain dysplasia: relatively low intelligence

Children with cerebral dysplasia tend to have slower intellectual development, and their intelligence tests may be average or below average. At the same time as intellectual development is delayed, some intelligence-related abilities, such as hearing, comprehension, and speaking ability, also show obvious retardation. If the baby is not very sensitive to sounds, or is slow to respond to various external information, or has speech problems, these are all symptoms of poor brain development.

Symptom 3 of brain dysplasia: stagnation of physical development

Children with cerebral maldevelopment will generally experience stagnation in the development of various physiological functions. In addition to the slow development of hearing and speech abilities mentioned above, all aspects of physical development will also stagnate. For example, a child's physical development rate is slower than other children, he is much smaller than other children, his eyesight and hearing are not very good, and he is prone to myopia or eye deformities. In addition, children with poor brain development all have poorly developed teeth, which are loose, easy to break, and prone to various dental diseases.

Symptom 4 of brain dysplasia: Abnormal daily behavior

Children with cerebral dysplasia have delayed development in intelligence and other related aspects, so they have difficulty concentrating, have fewer conscious reactions to their own behavior, and cannot remember people. In daily life, they tend to be relatively quiet and docile, lacking the vitality typical of children, and will not actively respond to the outside world. They lack interest in the outside world and sometimes show excessive crying and laughing. Children with severe brain dysplasia may even suffer from incontinence, aphasia, and sometimes epilepsy.

However, even if the child shows signs of brain maldevelopment, there is no need to worry. Through acquired treatment and conditioning, and nutritional supplements, the condition of brain maldevelopment can be improved.
