A member asked:

An 11 year old girl has acute onset of tingling and numbness together with decreased sensation in her right arm and leg. she became weak on same side?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Neurologist: She needs to be examined immediately by a pediatric neurologist. Tingling and numbness can be as simple as a pinched nerve although highly unlikely in a child that young. But motor weakness implies that she has both sensory and motor involvement. Please do take her right away.
