Brief Answer:
Minor abnormality
Detailed Answer:
Hi Mr XXXXXXX
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted the clinical details, CT scan and EEG report findings.
I would like to reassure you that the abnormality is minor and there is no need to worry about that. These CT scan findings indicate minor brain damage due to lack of oxygen supply at the time of delivery.
We expect good improvement in the child in future, however, she may not be able to reach the development shown by the other kid.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,

Brief Answer:
Training would help.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back.
There are special schools and training institutes for these children, where they learn a lot and get better.
Also, parents can play a big role in them getting better with more training at home also.
The medicines are mainly vitamins and tonics and they do not help much.
