Muscle atrophy sounds very serious, and the probability of it occurring in children is relatively high. The incidence of muscle atrophy in children is relatively high, so parents must observe their babies in a timely manner. Once symptoms of muscle atrophy are detected, they need to respond promptly. So what are the symptoms of muscle atrophy in children?
1. Myogenic atrophy, which is mainly caused by pathological changes in the muscles themselves, mainly occurs in the proximal pelvic girdle and scapula. Symmetrical atrophy often occurs, and a few patients may have distal atrophy. Muscle atrophy may also result in decreased memory, absence of muscle fiber tremors, and some sensory disorders.
2. Neurogenic muscle atrophy, which is mainly caused by problems with neuronal development. It can cause muscle atrophy, presenting as periodic atrophy, which often manifests as symmetry or asymmetry. The most common phenomenon is the occurrence of muscle tremors.
3. Central muscle atrophy, arteritis, or thrombosis are the main causes of this muscle atrophy. Arteritis or blood clots can easily cause circulatory problems, leading to muscle malnutrition and muscle atrophy.
Muscle atrophy can cause significant harm to children, leading to serious developmental disorders. Therefore, parents must observe their babies in a timely manner and take them to see a doctor if they show symptoms of muscle atrophy.
