Cerebral folate deficiency

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone -

My 7yr old son has global dyspraxia, among many many other things. Well,

recently he had a spinal tap...as we still don't have an " umbrella diagnosis "

for all of issues. The spinal tap revealed cerebral folate

deficiency... meaning the folate level in his spinal fluid is low, however the

level in his blood is normal. Therefore, he will be on supplements

forever...BUT...there is a chance that some of his issues can be improved with

his levels brought back to normal.

Has anyone ever heard of this? Or, are there any other parents out there that

have children with this particular deficiency?

Thanks!
