hello there!
Thank you for asking. 8 years kid with enlarged spleen and sudden mobility loss in left leg needs work up. MRI will sort it out. Some thing is wrong with the motor pathways of the spinal cord. Wait for the MRI and it will come out clean, And the spinal tap will will sort out infectious processess., I am sure it will come out soon whats wrong. Seek a good neurologist and consult for the opinion. the kid needs care and monitoring.
Good luck
