My baby getting pulmonary hemorrhage when 3 mths old. 10 days in ICU, CtScan show the  whole brain was swollen but no bleeding. 3 months later MRI Scan showed massive bleeding on both side of the brain. Burr Hole op was conducted. After 2 weeks Ctscan still show extensive bleeding and the brain did not expand so theres a room between the skull and the brain. Dr suggested to have another surgery to open up the skull and clear the bleeding. Is there any other option other than surgery. Tq
Hello, Thank you for trusting Chat Doctor. If blood presence in the cranium was confirmed it is of extreme importance to relief the pressure on the brain by getting this blood out. The good news is that your baby is still young and the skull didn't close fully and that what allows for its expansion later on the skull will close and then any pressure on the brain due to blood accumulation will be much more dangerous and life-threatening. Please keep following up with your baby treating doctor. Kind regards,
