No, brain damage at birth cannot be reversed, since damaged brain cells cannot regenerate or repair themselves. However, immediate interventions like neonatal body cooling (newborn therapeutic hypothermia) and surgery to address fractures or ruptured blood vessels can help prevent further damage.
Infants born with a mild case of brain damage may be able to make a full recovery. More severe forms of newborn brain damage may require lifelong medical treatment.
If your child suffered brain damage during childbirth, you may be able to pursue financial compensation through a lawsuit. Get in touch with our team to see if you have a case.
