Are Shortened Thumbs, Being Tongue Tied And Getting Seizures Related?
Hi My daughter has shortened thumbs, they look more like her big toe. She is tongue tied, can only poke it out to the edge of her teeth. And she is now having seizures. Could this all be related to the same medical condition or are they separate problems?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
The tongue tie , and the structure of the thumbs, are the congenital structural abnormalities, they have no relation with the seizures,some times they may be congenital,but they are different issues.
But when one issue is there some other conditions can appear.
Thinking that it is a congenital, or genetic, don't neglect the seizures.
I advise you to consult a neurologist for diagnosis and treatment of the type of seizures.
If non stop treatment for 3 years is successful with out seizures there is possibility of cure of seizures.
Weishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
