Causes of Neonatal Brain Cysts

Neonatal brain cysts are caused by congenital abnormalities, intrauterine infections, birth injuries, etc. First, congenital abnormalities In the process of embryonic development, if certain factors interfere with the normal brain development process, it may lead to cyst formation. For example, developmental disorders such as neural tube insufficiency may cause abnormal changes in brain structure, and then cysts. Second, intrauterine infection of the mother during pregnancy virus, bacteria and other infections, these pathogens can be transmitted to the fetus through the placenta, affecting fetal brain development, may induce the production of brain cysts. Common infections such as cytomegalovirus infection, toxoplasmosis infection. Third, birth injury In the process of childbirth, the newborn brain may be damaged to a certain extent due to factors such as birth canal compression and forceps delivery. This kind of damage may gradually form brain cysts afterwards. Neonates with brain cysts need to be closely observed and evaluated, including regular review of cranial imaging examinations, to understand the changes in cysts, and to take appropriate treatment measures according to specific conditions to ensure the healthy development of newborns. At the same time, pregnant women should pay attention to prevent infection during pregnancy, maintain good living habits and health status, and help reduce the risk of brain problems in newborns.
