Hi my ten year old first lists the use of her left leg then in the space of two weeks loss the use of the right leg now she s in a wheelchair, and her ands shake on and off, doctors did different kind of blood test and ruled out autoimmune disease. She s now waiting to have a full body bone scan have you come a cross anything like thus before?
Hi, we have seen such cases and these are autoimmune diseases affecting the spinal cord or the anterior horn cells. Diseases like motor neuron disease, transverse myelitis should be kept in mind. Lumbar puncture, MRI or brain and spine should be done. Consult a neurologist. Thank you
