MRI Results

We've now heard back from the neurologist regarding the MRI and EEG - both look normal. However, on the MRI the radiologist noted that there was "mild prominence of the sylvian fissure" which means that the space between the temporal and frontal lobes is slightly larger than normal. The doctor did not think it was significant, but we have found medical studies that suggest a link between this so-called Enlarged Sylvian Fissure (ESF) condition and feeding disorders - it could help explain some of the issues we've been having. The EEG showed no signs of seizures which is great news. In 4 weeks we get the results from the genetic bloodwork. This last piece is important because it will help us rule out any chromosomal abnormalities that could also be causing the feeding disorder. Stay tuned!!
