My friend called to ask prayers for her little 2 year old boy who suddenly lost the use of his little legs. About 3 months ago he had a seizure with eyes rolling back in his head, etc. Would this have any connection with his legs not working? His Dr. took x-rays, etc. and couldn t find anything physically wrong. The Dr. suggested it could be a virus. Do you have anything to add to this diagnosis. Thanks.
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Seizure is not related to the current paralysis of legs. The most likely cause for weakness of both legs could be a viral infection of the spinal cord causing transverse myelitis. This can be confirmed by doing an MRI scan of the spine. Treatment would consist of steroids injections and physiotherapy. Another possibility could be Guillain-Barre syn Chat Doctor.  This can be confirmed by doing nerve conduction studies. Please show to a neurologist. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health,
