There seems to be developmental delay.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and would try my best to help you.
I have noted the details of your child. He seems to have a developmental delay, affecting his speech and other brain functions. CT brain findings are non-specific and shows slight decreased size of brain.
Further evaluation should include an assessment by pediatric neurologist, a neuro-psychologist, and blood tests (such as thyroid and other metabolic disorders).
Speech therapy and occupational therapy may be continued.
I sincerely hope my reply has helped you.
I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
Best wishes,
