Foot deviation

2017-06-12 07:08:03
Hello Doctor. My two and half years old son had seizure(myclonic jersk) when he was 6 months old. But he had seizure only for 5 days and it didn't come again yet. We immediately consulted a pediatric neurologist and the right treatment was started immediately. Now he has spasticity and there is outside side deviation of foot in the right side.

Hi. Before I can comment anything, I need to know many other aspects of the child.. Eg what about left leg? What about upper limbs? What about his milestones like walking, talking etc? Spasticity indicates that the child has some problem in the brain which causes the leg to become stiff. Spasticity needs physiotherapy to make the leg supple again and other medicines if needed.
Next Steps
Pls see a Pediatric Neurologist
