Brain malformations

Brain malformations

Brain malformations are a set of medical conditions in which abnormally formed brain tissues occur during prenatal development. These malformations can interfere with normal brain function and lead to physical, intellectual, and/or neurological disability. In many cases, the underlying cause of a malformation is unknown, though in some cases, genetic or environmental factors can be involved. For example, certain mutations in certain genes can increase the likelihood of a malformation occurring. Additionally, prenatal exposure to certain toxins can also play a role. Common forms of brain malformation include hydrocephalus, which is characterized by the accumulation of fluid in the brain, and cerebral palsy, which is a disorder that affects muscle coordination and movement. Other malformations can include anencephaly, a condition where portions of the brain don’t develop; and holoprosencephaly, a condition where the brain is underdeveloped. Treatment for brain malformations can usually be focused either on managing symptoms and providing therapies, or on surgically correcting the abnormality. In some cases, medications or dietary supplements can also help alleviate symptoms. Because brain malformations are often unpredictable and can occur during fetal development, it’s especially important for parents to practice proper prenatal care. This includes having routine antenatal care along with genetic testing and screenings, if necessary. Additionally, avoiding certain environmental toxins, such as alcohol or cigarettes, can go a long way towards keeping both mother and baby safe.
