Question
Why does a child’s left hand and foot twitch?
Answer
Based on EEG and MRI results, a child’s left hand and foot twitch may be associated with sharp waves and sharp-slow waves emitted from the right frontal central area and abnormal signals from the deep temporal lobes on both sides, which could be manifestations of leukodystrophy. Additionally, bilateral maxillary sinusitis may also be a concurrent health issue. It is recommended to first undergo an EEG test; if epilepsy waves, spike waves, or sharp waves are detected, a more precise diagnosis of epilepsy can be made. After confirmation, appropriate treatment plans should be chosen based on the specific condition. It is important to note that pediatric epilepsy can cause serious harm to children, so early treatment is crucial. Parents should closely monitor their child’s condition to seek medical attention promptly.
