Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Hello! Recurrent spasms in children can be classified into flexor spasms, extensor spasms, and mixed spasms. Flexor spasms are the most common, characterized by flexion of the neck, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs. The child suddenly nods their head, the upper limbs are adducted in a ball-like motion, and then they are extended outward. The intensity of muscle contraction varies among different children or during different episodes of recurrence in the same child. Mild cases may only manifest as head shaking or shoulder shrugging, while severe abdominal muscle contractions can cause the trunk to resemble a folded knife.
