How to prepare
- Compile a detailed personal and family medical history, including any known neurological conditions.
- Bring all previous medical records, imaging scans (MRI, CT), and results of any prior genetic testing.
- Keep a symptom diary for several days, noting the timing, triggers, and severity of movement issues.
- Prepare a list of all current medications, supplements, and allergies.
- The child may need to temporarily stop certain medications before specific diagnostic tests, as directed by the neurologist.
- Prepare the child for the consultation with age-appropriate explanations about the tests and examinations.
Risks & possible complications
- Medication side effects: Nausea, dizziness, dyskinesias (involuntary movements), and behavioral changes.
- Diagnostic uncertainty, as symptoms can overlap with other conditions, potentially delaying definitive diagnosis.
- Psychological impact of a chronic diagnosis on the child and family, including anxiety or depression.
- Progression of the disease leading to increased disability despite treatment.
- Potential risks associated with long-term medication use, which are carefully monitored.
- Challenges in social integration and academic performance due to motor symptoms.
Recovery & hospital stay

- Commitment to ongoing physical, occupational, and possibly speech therapy is crucial to maintain mobility and function.
