Patient's question:
Doctor, the child, who is 8 months old, suddenly started shaking his head slightly without consciousness. At that time, a normal EEG was performed, which was normal. The doctor said the child has severe calcium deficiency and recommended calcium supplementation. Later, I wasn't reassured, so I had a cranial MRI and a 50-minute video EEG. The results showed mild widening of the extracranial space between the bilateral frontal and temporal bones. Then on November 1st, I noticed that the child's left eye was moving approximately. At our local ophthalmology hospital, the doctor said it was nystagmus. The child is too young to be tested for astigmatism, so they advised me to wait until the child turns one year old and then have it checked again. Neither my husband nor I have any similar diseases (female, 10 months).Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, the child's MRI showed mild widening, which is more likely to be considered developmental dysplasia. Based on the child's current symptoms, it is recommended to take the child to a hospital with a grade of three or above, or to Beijing Children's Hospital. If there is no problem, it is just to focus on careful observation. This is the advice for the question "Doctor, my child is 8 months old and has been shaking his head slightly without consciousness for no reason." I hope it helps you. Wish you good health!
