What Causes Lack Of Movement In Left Hand And Leg Post VP Shunt On Right Ear?
VP shunt has been put to my daughter on the back side of the right ear at the age of three months in Ramadevi Hospital in Tirupati. From that time the left hand and left leg is functioning very slowly.Now her age is 8 years. Recently we showed her in Narayanadri Hospital in Tirupati. But they didn t give any suggestion.When will my daughter walk?

Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the lack of movement of left hand and leg may be indicative of compromised vascular supply to upper and lower limb through upper spinal cord region. An MRI cervical spine after thorough physical examination gives best results for further line of action.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
