are there any  paediatric neurologists/ neurology students out there who might help diagnosing rare condition?

I'm guessing this is for a class... I don't know about a single condition, but all the things you listed are consistent with lower motor neuron, cranial nerve deficiencies. Can the baby see, move its eyes, or smell? if so, there are defects in cranial nerves 5-12, and perhaps some spinal nerves as well, depending on the baby's activity. Either there was trauma to the pons/medulla or a severe birth defect/ genetic condition, or some type of autoimmune reaction against the myelination systems of the nervous system (oligodendrocytes or Schwann cells).  this is a very poorly worded question; perhaps you could clarify.

not me, but I know someone who has that same thing and she has found no relief either.  I'm guessing there's some kinda facial nerve damage going on there.  Don't know what to do about that.  I suppose you've already been to neurologists, neurosurgeons, & pain specialists (?) if you've seen that many doctors already.  I wish I knew more.  sorry I wasn't any help.   but I sympathize greatly.

While you state tha you have seen a doctor, Yahoo Answers is no place for this type of question. Even if qualified Neurologists replied, they could not accurately provide a diagnosis withou examining your daughter.\n\nCauses of severe headaches:\nMigraine\nTrauma\nBrain bleed\nInfection\nHypertension\nTumor\nParasites\nand the list goes on.\nIf the MRI and CTScan are negative and she is still symptomatic, I would press to see a specialist. Have a Radiologist look at the films. See another neurologist for a second opinion. Don't stand still, but proceed forward and ask about the next step. Can they do a contrast study MRI?\nWhat has your daughter's health been like before? Has she visited any foreign places? Been ill recently? College is a common place for menigitis and viral outbreaks. You should rule these out.\n\nheadaches can also be caused be extreme stress, whihc is not uncommon in college.\n\nGood luck, but direct your questions to an MD!

I'm not sure what the question is.  He sounds like that there might be more than one thing wrong....I would suggest seeing a neurologist.

So basically, your child has just been diagnosed with a neoplasm and you're thinking about suing the doctor presumably  for economic purposes. wow.\n\n////\n\nTo reply again: you're saying they misdiagnosed.  have you referred the child to another pool of doctors who drew another diagnose? is there no paraclinical evidence (cat,  rm scans, biopsing, etc) to back the original diagnosis?\n\nbasically, you're saying the neurologist drew the diagnosis out of thin air.

I don't understand your question. Until emptiness? Are you talking about hydrocephalus or some other disease state?\n\nEDIT: Hmm. Now I better understand your question, but I have to admit I don't know the answer, it's not my area. It does sound rather severe. A Neurosurgeon is the best person to ask, if you have not already had an appointment with one. Is this congenital (child was born with this)?

Well, I work as a medical secretary and we very often use Google if we're not sure of a condition (sounds bizarre I know!).  There's tons of info to be found though.  For accurate information on many things (though not all) you could try the NHS Direcweb-site at http://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/ and use their self-help guide.  Good luck!

consult a paediatrician.

Often regular pediatricians are not equipped to make a determination. Get an evaluation from a developmental pediatrician or pediatric neurologist. Here's a link to the criteria used for autism and related disorders.

It could be psycological but it is far more likely it is neurological. I would get him into a pediatrican and let the doctor check him out.

I would have him evaluated by a pediatric specialty team at your nearest children's hospital or rehab center. My daughter was dx'd with ADD/ADHD/PDD-NOS and then High-functioning Autism by her ped and later by state funded physical and occupational therapists through early intervention. She was medicated at the school's insistence for ADHD. When that made things worse instead of better, we had her evaluated at our local pediatric rehabilitation center and learned that she was actually a perfect match for the symptoms/actions of Aspergers Syndrome and early onset bi-polar disorder. The reason the meds made things worse was that with bi-polar, you can't give just the anti-depressant, you have to do a mood stabilizer as well, or the manic symptoms will intensify and often times go out of control. Hope you find the help you need to help your child

Please keep pressing for solutions other than psychological! Go to as many doctors as it takes and make a nuisance of yourself if your concerns are brushed aside or put under the "mental illness" umbrella. \n\nMy 5-year-old nephew was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease (a severe allergy to gluten). This disease is commonly screened for in parts of Europe, but only now catching physician's attention in the US. It was once thought to be rare in the US and most well-meaning physicians simply don't think of this as a possibility. My nephew was extremely lucky to get a correct diagnosis so quickly as this disease has symptoms (including those you described) that can mimic many other diseases. Making it even more complicated is that the symptoms, severity, and age onset vary from individual to individual. At any rate, this will give you something to be ruled out if it has not been explored as a possibility.\n\nFor more information go to www.celiac.org. I hope you quickly find a solution. If doctors are leading to dead end diagnoses, I can see where you would post on forums like this for any ideas that think "outside the box" for a possible cause/solution.\n\nGOOD LUCK!

I live in USA and there is help here I am sure. I have sister that has MS and MD and another that has MS. I know that they just see neurologist. But don't believe either go to any support groups though. I wish I could help you with your question. But I can't sorry.
