Microcephaly ends up dying from complications such as lung infections, bedsores, and nutritional disorders.
In cerebellar atrophy, the patient may develop dysarthria, slow speech, slurred speech, dysarthria, or bursts of speech due to dysfunctional co-movement of the vocal muscles. Dizziness may also occur, which may be accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Due to ataxia, the coordination of limb movement is obviously affected, unable to eat and walk normally, or even unable to sit up, needing to rely on a wheelchair or having to be bedridden.
Due to dietary disorders and bedriddenness, patients with microcephaly can suffer from aspiration pneumonia and aspiration pneumonia, which can lead to severe nutritional disorders and electrolyte disorders, etc. Improper nursing care can lead to decubitus ulcers, etc. Ultimately, these complications can lead to death due to multiorgan failure.
Patients with microcephaly should be treated reasonably under the guidance of doctors to improve their quality of life.
