It depends: You should consult rehabilitation specialists for the correct course of action. I assume you have a neurosurgeon since your brother had a head injury. Speak to this provider for the needed care. It is possible that no specific treatment is needed at this time.

encephalomalacia: This essentially refers to damaged brain. It is not really an active disease but a response to an injury--essentially the lasting scar of where once viable brain tissue used to be. There is no real reversal of this process.
