He had fever that lasted for one month following which he lost the milestones and had not achieved any new milestones. MRI brain was done at 6 months of age which showed hypomyelination. There were no convulsions, altered sensorium ever. He was a full term normal delivery with birth weight of 2.5 kg with no antenatal or postnatal complications. He was immunized till age.
