Hi, my 18 month old daughter started to use her left. Arm and fingers less after a hi fever and ear infection. She is not crawling yet. We took her to the gp they referred her to have a brain scan. The scan shows small black dots. I am worried sick what can this mean. They need to run some more tests . Is this a common problem. Is it dangerous . Please advice. Many thanks
Hi... It would have been best to opine on this after seeing the scan images and examining the kid neurologically. But by what you quote I feel that your child might be having an infantile hemiplegia or an infarct in the brain. The black spots you are seeing are loss of blood supply to some parts of the brain, probably. Regards -
