Hello,
My 3 year old son was diagnosed with mild cerebral palsy at 9 months, At the moment he is unable to walk, his posture/balance is uncoordinated, isn't talking yet but jumbles words and says a few things like names of family members and familiar things. He moves around supported and finds it difficult to sit on his own for a long time. He has been undergoing physio therapy and other occupational therapy and we are interested in exploring the stem cell treatment so he had MRI done a couple of days ago.
MRI Scan
Multiplanar, multiecho MRI of the brain was performed without IV contrast administration
Findings
- No space - occupying lesion or focal/diffuse area of signal abnormality is detected in cerebral parenchyma
- Brain stem and cerebellum appear normal
- Ventricles, basal cisterns, cerebral sulci are normal for age
- Both sylvian fissures appear normal
- Sella and parasellar region appear normal
- The 7th and 8th nerve complex appear normal on both sides
- The visualised major intracranial vessel display expected flow void signal
Impression
No significant abnormality detected
Please help explain what this results mean and if you have pointers on where to go for the stem cell treatment.
Look forward to your feedback.
Thank you.
Jumoke.
