Dr. Natalie Hodge answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Mechanism? : What was the mechanism of the fall? Did this twitching happen while falling asleep? Was his neurologic exam normal in his physicians office? Look for vomiting and altered mental status for that particular time of day. I hope this helps!
