Subependymal cyst in the newborn

Some newborn babies may suffer from subependymal cysts, but parents who have no medical experience are relatively unfamiliar with this term. The ependyma is located in the ventricles. If not treated in time, it will affect the baby's intellectual development and the baby's behavioral ability will be lower than that of his peers. Of course, if the disease is under control in time, parents do not need to worry too much. After the disease is under control, they should go for regular check-ups and follow the doctor's advice.

①Subependymal cyst is a common neonatal brain injury, which is generally related to intrauterine infection and intrauterine fetal distress. Studies have shown that the growth and development of full-term infants is usually not affected by this disease, but the intelligence and motor development of premature infants are affected to a certain extent. The baby needs to be followed up for at least 1 year. There is a possibility of spontaneous recovery.

② You can do a developmental assessment test to see if it is a normal developmental level. If the cyst grows further, there may be compression symptoms. If the baby can sit, then there should be no problem with development. Of course, you will feel more at ease after the examination. The erythema of the scalp is a hemangioma, and if the baby's fontanelle has not closed, you can do an ultrasound examination. You can do CT or MRI. CT has some radiation, but ultrasound and MRI have no side effects. You can see a pediatric surgeon for hemangioma, and you need to see a neurosurgeon for intracranial cyst. If you just want a check-up, you can go directly to the surgery department. Vaccination and check-up are unrelated and will not conflict with each other.

③Ependymomas can be divided into two types: benign tumors and malignant tumors. Whether it is a benign tumor or a malignant tumor, it is recommended that patients should go to the hospital for effective treatment as soon as possible when they discover the disease. Because ependymoma has a great impact on the patient's physical health when it develops to the later stage, we must pay enough attention to it. The early symptoms of ependymoma are not obvious, and it is difficult to get effective treatment in the early stages.

④ If a subependymal cyst occurs, you must choose an effective method for treatment as soon as possible to avoid missing the best time for treatment. This problem can easily worsen and may cause symptoms of cerebral palsy among us. It will have a great negative impact on our normal life in the future and may also increase our chances of suffering from insomnia.
