Dr. Peter Kurzweil answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

How long? What kind?: The answer to this question requires a very precise history, physical and neurologic exam; specialists involved would be your pediatrician, adult medicine doc, neurologist, and likely a speech therapist as usual with my answers, you can't; you and the right professional(s) can. The clinical info will guide what imaging studies will provide the most pertinent information.
