They need to stop misdiagnosing children, it's nothing more than abuse,Doctors and Neurologists know nothing, Atlas misalignment can happen before or even during birth

Medical professionals have been urged to consider a wide range of possible symptoms when it comes to neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis.

The move comes after a case where a seven-year-old boy's only symptoms were abdominal pains.

According to the study 'Acute Abdominal Pain As The Only Symptom Of A Thoracic Demyelinating Lesion In Multiple Sclerosis', published in the journal Brain And Development, the child had a new demyelinating lesion that showed up on his spine.

The boy had his first MS symptom at the age of three. At that time, he had spastic gait and was treated with intravenous methylprednisolone (m-PSL). Although he continued to have slight spasticity in both his ankle joints, his symptoms were greatly improved.

Later, at the age of six, the boy had a second MS symptom. He appeared at the doctor due to neck and upper extremity pain and was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. A more aggressive means of treatment included interferon-beta 1a (IFN β 1a) and plasmapheresis in addition to m-PSL. Treatment with IFN β 1a was stopped because the boy had frequent episodes of vomiting and poor eating, both of which cleared up one month after stopping IFN β 1a treatment.

With the newest relapse, the boy was treated again with m-PSL and IFN β 1b (rather than IFN β 1a). Remarkably, there was a reduction in the demyelinating lesion with the end of treatment, as well as a resolution of symptoms after three weeks.

“This case is remarkable in that the only symptom of a longitudinally extensive, thoracic, demyelinating lesion was abdominal pain,” said Dr. Shohei Nomura, lead author of the case study.

“Though it is unclear why the only manifestation of this patient’s extensive thoracic lesion was abdominal pain, this case supports the notion that the size and localization of demyelinating lesions might not directly correspond to the symptoms observed. Therefore, clinicians must be careful to consider neurogenic sources of diverse symptoms, especially those related to autonomic dysfunction, in demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis.”
