14 Month Old With Breif "shutters"
Posted: 05-21-05 11:34am

Hi, our 14 month old daughter has recently began having shutters (for lack of a better term) a few times throughout the day. She shakes as if she got a chill, then promptly puts her head to her right shoulder. Just the other night we were at dinner and she did this around 10 times in about an hour.

These seizures or shakes or shutters only seem to affect her shoulders, neck and head; lasting only 1 second. She remains fully conscious and able to continue holding toys which may be in her hands at the time.

We talked with her Dr. And we are going to get more tests this week.

Anyone gone through this with a baby? We are scared and worried about what to expect.

Thanks

rob

Hi rob, so sorry your baby is going through this. I am glad to see that you will have her seen soon for tests.

I have not had this with a baby, but have read a bit.


Very important to see a pede neuro and have mri and eeg done to see if they can figure what is going on...

Best wishes
