A member asked:
My son born with down syndrome and now diagnosed with infantile spasms and mri result is brain mild atrophic changes for follow up , he is now 9 month?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sorry for the issues: Both these diagnoses are worrisome and promise a lifetime of hardships for the child and family. I have seen DS kids have a full and happy life but those with infantile spasms face a debilitating progression and lack of development. Your question is not clear, but I hope this clarifies what you are facing.
