MRI

[Johnsmom]

DS10 had some kind of spell in gym class. The local doctor ordered an MRI. He had it today and he did great! Now we are set up to see pediatric neurologist at Universtiy of Wisconsin hospital. DS was diagnosed there when he was 5 with PDD-NOS. Since then we have been to a few DAN docs, ended up doing 7 lower dose IVIG's and just had two HD with Dr K. Last HD was 12-1-11.

We dont get to see neurologist until June 4th so im wondering what he/she will be looking for. We of course suspect seizure activity. (I know an EEG shows seizure activity only when you are experiencing one) Will the Basil ganglia be inflammed? Will the neurologist find nothing?

 

Any advice experience??

 

thanks!

My ds 9 had an MRI because local pandas Dr is a neurologist. Inflammation in the basal ganglion does not show up, everything was normal except incidental finding showed a clogged maxillary sinus which was later drained during T & A surgery and cultured and found to be infected, as were the T & As. So proved useful in the end!
