Surgeries In Head Post Cerebral Hemorrhage, Has Developed Flickering Of Lips And Tongue With Shivering In Hands And Legs. Cause?
My son suffered serious traumatic cerebral haemorrhage after hitting his head on the tatami mat while performing physical combat training. The injury happened on 12th Oct 2012. He underwent an emergency surgery to remove blood clot. Portion of his left side skull was removed during the process. Subsequent he underwent 5 more surgeries on the head in the last 85days. After the crynoplasty on 7th Dec 2012, he developed flickering of lips & tongue in addition to the previously started shivering of left hand & right leg. Need ur advice on cause & what medication for total recovery.
It is good to note that your son is recovering well from the traumatic brain injury. Also, he has withstood five surgeries!
Regarding the flickering of lips and tongue, they could be due to partial (or focal) seizures. This is often due to scar in the brain caused either by the trauma or the effect of surgery.
Treatment would be with anti epileptic medications.
Please discuss these issues with his doctor.
