Child With Tuberous Sclerosis, Brain Tumours An Epilepsy, Stiffness On Neck. What Could Be The Cause?
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. The current problem seems to be a local neck problem, and is most likely not related to tuberous sclerosis. It could be spasm of neck muscles, leading to pain, stiffness and restricted neck movements. As of now, you can apply local analgesic cream and take him for physical therapy. It should improve in a few days, if not better, you may take him to the doctor. Best wishes, Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology) Senior Consultant Neurologist
