I took my son to see a neurologist in August. He has had a lot of health issues since birth but the drs didn't think it was anything worth worrying about until recently when we switched drs. I wanted to post the summery of the report I got a copy of from the Dr and see if anyone knows anything about this stuff.
In summary, the male child is a 4 year old who comes to the Neurology Office today for an evaluation of his leg twitching. What we have noticd on exam is that he has hyperreflexia that is gerneralized and diplegia.
Does anyone knows what generalized and diplegia and hyperreflexia mean? He did go to a sleep study on the 7th and a MRI on the 24th and we will be meeting with the Dr on the 7th of Nov to go over the results but I was just wondering if anyone understood what was in the report.
