White matter malnutrition is extremely harmful

In recent years, environmental pollution has become increasingly serious, and people's health has been increasingly threatened. The health of infants and young children has received widespread attention from all walks of life. Take leukodystrophy as an example. Many newborns are often induced by some adverse factors in the outside world. Do you know the harm of leukodystrophy?

1. Motor disorders: The patient's motor ability is lower than that of normal children of the same age, and his motor self-control ability is poor. Therefore, suffering from leukomalacia is extremely harmful to the motor aspect.

2. Postural disorders: The patient’s body postures are abnormal and the posture stability is poor.

3. Intellectual disabilities and perceptual disorders: manifested as slowed perception speed, easier to accept stimulation of the visual pathway than auditory stimulation; low thinking ability, lack of abstract thinking ability, imagination and generalization ability, and inability to draw inferences from one example; serious distraction, very narrow attention span, poor speech ability, and can only speak simple words and sentences.

4. Language barriers: Most children with leukomalacia may have varying degrees of language barriers and poor communication skills, making it difficult for them to learn interpersonal communication.

5. Visual and hearing impairment: Many children with leukomalacia have myopia or strabismus, among which esotropia is the most common. Hearing loss is more common in athetoid cerebral dysplasia. Children with leukomalacia often have difficulty distinguishing the rhythm of sounds.

6. Growth and development disorders: Most children with leukomalacia are shorter than normal children of the same age, and their growth and development appear to be retarded. This harm can have a great psychological impact on patients.

White matter malnutrition is extremely harmful, so once we encounter this situation, we must first pay attention to the need for timely treatment and also take good care of ourselves in daily life.
