Neurologist,  's  Response
Hi,

Your son should see a neurologist or a pediatric NEURO-ophthalmologist in order to look at the possibility of a couple of things including Myasthenia Gravis, Horner's syndrome. Can you take a digital photograph of the face in order to demonstrate the drooping eyelid as well as the arms side by side to demonstrate the focal muscle wasting and upload.

The presentation of left eyelid droop and left arm weakness is potentially consistent with some type of right cerebral hemispheric type of lesion but it is unclear exactly at this point. Such disparate symptoms may also suggest multiple problems. Has he been checked for toxic substances in the bloodstream?

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dariush Saghafi,
Neurologist
