Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello sir My kid (now 29 months) was born of caesarean section and has a head circumference of 53 cm. We have checked for hydrocephalus and other syndromes but doctor has cleared of any such thing. The thing is his legs are really thin and weight is 13 kg. My doctor brother suggested that he also has in toeing. Will he have any problems related to leg or feet? He speaks normally and his developmental milestones are fine. But since he is weak he cannot really run like a normal kid but a little like a 1 year old. Please suggest what care should be taken for his legs. Also his motions are very hard.
In order to rule hydrocephalus you should have a CT scan on the head. You also should get a blood test for the calcium levels for him x as hypocalcemia may lead to such weakness and difficulty in running.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
