Question
A 14-year-old boy experiences cold feet and sweating after sleeping. What could be the cause, and how should it be treated? Thank you. The patient has been previously diagnosed with pediatric cerebral palsy.
Answer
This condition may be related to tremor-type cerebral palsy, which primarily affects the cerebellum and the pyramidal system, characterized by involuntary, rhythmic movements of certain body parts in a plane. Symptoms of tremor-type cerebral palsy include resting tremors, which are coarse and rhythmic, sometimes accompanied by ocular tremors. Pure tremor-type cerebral palsy is relatively rare and often occurs in combination with other types. For this situation, it is recommended to seek professional medical advice to determine the specific cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
