Hi, your baby's case details are complex, & requires personal, detailed evaluation.
Please consult urgently a competent developmental Pediatrician or Pediatric Neurologist, as abnormal USG brain will require further developmental assessment (+/- neuroimaging) & Opthalmologist fundus examination.
If persistent neonatal jaundice is present, again blood workup after examining your baby.
Next Steps
Don't lose precious time, as early treatment (if correctable) is the key.
