What Causes Bluish Discoloration Of Nails In A Child Having VP Shunt?
Hi my daughter is 5. She has a TBI w/a VP shunt, can t walk so is in a wheel chair. She can take steps with assistance. She has Epilepsy, hypothyroidism, adrenal insufficiency. Problem is her feet and nails are turning blue at times her fingers as well. It worsens with activity and her Doctor is stumped. Any ideas?
actually, the blueish colour might be due to side-effects of anti epileptic drug.. most of the anti epileptic drug will have side-effects which cause cyanosis or blueish discoloration.
