[|Human|] Hi, my niece has stopped developing and has actually began to regress. She has been admitted to hospital where they suspect brain shrinkage. Please help us understand what this means, it is happening quickly and we have been told today that she is virtually blind and the damage is beyond repair.
[|AI|]  Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your nieces symptoms. Based on the description, she seems to be suffering from a degenerative disease of the brain. If possible, please upload an MRI scan of the brain. This would help in getting to know the diagnosis. Generally, a degenerative disease can not be cured. However, with physiotherapy and certain medications such as coenzyme Q, some improvement is possible. 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, Chat Doctor. Ly/
