What Causes Persistent Mouth Spasm Post Spinal Surgery?
My 17 year old daughter has cerebral palsy she underwent spinal surgery a week today for scoliosis. Since Saturday she has presented with continous mouth twitches, very similar to a seizure symptom, they are continous all day both during awake and during her sleep. She is epileptic which is controlled by sodium volporate. Whilst in hospital the Pediatricians said they didn t want to do anything unless she had a full blow fit! also she is on voltarol & paracetamol for pain relieve since her operation.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, symptom that is being stated here could be due to some central nervous system related and may be due to the disease that is having her, this could be brisk one and this does not need any specific treatment, unless this very severe one, hope this information helps, take care.
