What Are The Chances Of Brain Damage?
When my granddaughter was born she went twelve minutes without breathing. Is it possible she doesn t have any brain damage. They put her in a cool cap for three days. Her eeg and mri were good but my wife is freaking out that she is going to have damage.

Hello
Thanks for your kind question.
Well there might have been a chance of anoxic ischaemic damage,especially since you mentioned twelve minutes,thats a long time and can cause significant damage,but since MRI and eeg were normal,That seems to be good news.But however a through examination by a neurologist would be great.
