An 11-Year-Old Girl with Suicidal Thoughts, Hallucinations

An 11-year-old girl had a minor fall at home and developed severe pain in her right hand and her left leg. She presented to a physical medicine and rehabilitation (PMR) clinic with severe pain and resultant gait disturbance. Due to the severity of her presentation, she was admitted to a PMR inpatient facility for intensive therapy and diagnostic workup. No underlying medical conditions were found and no medications were helpful. Physical therapy was not helpful in improving function.
