MRI results that his brain shows hyperintensitve at bilateral periventricular white matter. i wanna to know it means, do it have impact on mental growth.
HelloWelcome to Chat Doctor Seizures in a child of less than 3 years age with high grade fever are also called as Febrile Convulsions. Basic treatment in such seizures is control of hyperthermia and control of seizure by medicines like Garden or Phenobarbital. Mild hyper intensities on MRI are normal findings and there is no need to worry. Still you can consult his doctor for detailed results. For his normal mental growth I would advise you to please give him special attention for at least next 2-3 years, fever or hyperthermia should be avoided completely. If fever occurs then immediately give paracetamol syrup and take him to a doctor. Consult his doctor for some prophylactic medicine for seizure as Garden. He will attain normal growth, don't take excess stress. Thanks
