Thank you for your reply! I will certainly look at the research you describe.
My son had a full spine and brain MRI as a newborn (May 2007) and again at just before 1-year-old (March 2008) and again after tethered cord surgery (July 2008). None were with contrast. None showed any brain abnormalities, just tethered cord with a lumbar syrinx. Do you still believe another MRI is prudent? If so, should it be with contrast or performed in any special manner? My best regards and thanks, Rebecca Quote:

I set up a baby monitor in my son's room last night and heard him yawning as he fell asleep, had two 5-minute yawning episodes in the middle of the night, and then another yawning episode when he woke up in the morning.

Here are several videos of some yawning episodes. Please ignore the 2-year-old and 1-year-old in the background!

Excessive yawning can indicate vagus nerve and subsequent heart problems. I would have him evaluated by another doctor. Being the sudden onset and frequency, this sounds very abnormal.
Please post an update when you find out what's causing it. |

Should we see a cardiologist then? He had a cardiology eval after echocardiogram as a newborn and everything was structurally fine. The only thing was "mild tricuspid insufficiency" but wasn't concerning to anybody so he was released from that specialty.
I guess what I'm trying to figure out is what you mean by "evaluated by another doctor"...another pediatrician? Another neurologist? Or a new sub-specialty altogether? Thanks! Rebecca |

I would take him back to his pediatrician and discuss whether he thinks a cardio consult is warranted, just to rule out any problems. Has he seen the videos or a log of how many events? This just seems way outside normal limits. Have they done routine blood work recently? I'm glad the neuro is doing the extended EEG to rule out atypical seizures. The pulse ox hopefully rules out any O2 desaturation..,.which is a good thing.
