I saw a post while searching the web by Ohio Mom 87 or something on here? Anyway my daughter is almost 14 months old and is having an MRI done in the next few weeks because her CT scan showed that there was a decreased amount of "white matter" in the brain and that atrophy cannot be excluded. She has gross motor delays and the neurologist who we just met last week says she is "globally delayed" although I beg to differ. I just want to know if anyone has been down this road w/ developmental delays, MRI's of the BRAIN, if anyone knows anything about brain atrophy or ventriculomegaly?
My daughter has also been diagnosed with "benign external hydrocephalus and vetriculomegaly.
But she is not expected to need a shunt.
These things are not "common" things you hear about w/ kids where we live so I feel so isolated and worried and the doctors seem to think this is all over our heads to explain it but I'd love to know what is going on. Any info anyone can give me I'd so greatly appreciate. Thank you so very much!
