Upon request from orthopedic doctor, we saw a female pediatric neurologist with L, at Sulayman Al-Habib Hospital, Olaya to exclude any neurological underlying problems. None were found.
We did blood tests: CBC, Alkaline Phosphatase -ALP, CA, Phosphorus, TSH. All came out in the normal range.
Our 11 year old daughter was diagnosed with vascular malformation in the soleus and medial part of gastrocnemius muscle in the left calf. She started toe-walking, length of her left leg and left foot was affected. Her Achilles tendon has been shortened, as a result of a spasm in the calf muscles. This blog gathers info on her condition, medical history and course of treatment in Saudi Arabia.
