The 14-year-old girl suddenly left-handed after the head hit
After hitting the ground in a basketball game in high school, the young Mikayla Wilson (American) suffered from dementia and switched left-handed.
Shortly after the match, when the whole team gathered, everyone realized there was a problem when she asked her mother, " Who are the people who wear like you, and why are they looking at you? ".
Wilson was taken to a nearby hospital. A CT scan eliminates the possibility of skull injury and bleeding in the brain. And this amnesia, doctors think is a residual symptom of a mild brain attack, also known as brain agitation.
Doctors also explain when the head hits, the brain is pushed forward, causing damage in the impacted area in a region far away from it. The symptoms left behind, such as temporary memory loss, can last for weeks, even months.
It's been 3 weeks since then, Wilson still can't remember the names of friends and teammates.She also moved from right-handed to left-handed - a reversal that doctors never knew.
"When you have to sign something, she uses a pen with her left hand. She says that, it feels better than her right hand ," her father told ABC. And yet, I also use chopsticks with my left hand.
In the past, Wilson also liked listening to music, playing saxophone and playing flute. But now, she could not remember how to play, even differentiated instruments.
However, some memories also began to return. In the future, I will be checked by doctors to see if the symptoms improve.
