Question
A year ago, a child suddenly experienced symptoms of paralysis in their legs during class. After five hours of hospital treatment, they recovered to normal. Multiple checks, including electrocardiograms, electroencephalograms, and electromyograms, did not reveal any organic causes. Recently, the child had another attack, not only with leg weakness but also with hands that could not move. They recovered spontaneously after three hours. What could be the possible causes?
Answer
Hello. Based on the multiple tests conducted, it can be basically ruled out that there is an organic disease. It is suggested to understand if there have been any special events recently and whether there have been any unusual changes in the child’s psychology and spirit. This situation does not exclude the possibility of spinal cord issues and may also be related to potassium deficiency. It is recommended to go to the hospital for biochemical tests and MRI scans to further determine the cause.
