A member asked:
My one year old daughter has several beats if ankle clonus while sleeping. she also had a small sacral dimple should i be concerned?

Should not worry: If the base of the sacral dimple can be visualized, there is not likely to be a problem. The movements in sleep are not likely to represent a serious problem if not present during wakefulness.
