A member asked:

What do you suggest if my new born baby has just been diagnosed with an insult to the brain-basal ganglia?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Assemble team: A team approach to monitoring and treatment would be best. Your general pediatrician can help coordinate with a neurologist, neurosurgeon, developmental pediatrician and physical therapist. Babies have remarkable rehabilitative potential, so keep positive thoughts!
