Suggest Treatment For Periventricular Leukomalacia
My son had a CT scan done when he was 15 months old. He had fallen out of the bed. The report showed that he had no injuries to his brain. An MRI done 2 weeks ago showed that he as periventricular leukomalicia. why didn t the CT scan pick this up? Could the disease have occurred after that point? He had the MRI done because he was having medical issues after his 4 Yr vaccine injections.

Hello,
I read the question and understand your concern.
In my opinion this may not be related to the trauma .
This disorder is caused by low perfusion to the brain. It may be since birth . It may be caused by an infection like meningitis etc.I would like to know the problems with the vaccine. Not rarely vaccine ingredients can cause these type of lesions.
I think that just follow up by a Neuro pediatrician will be necessary in case of progression of neurological problems.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes Dr.Abaz Quka
