Is a positive Babinski reflex accompanied by minor (come and go) numbness/tingling/pins and needles in hand and toes (one side) and a single dilated pupil (responds but springs back to original dilated state immediately) of concern or is this a possibly benign grouping of coincidental symptoms. Also, is positive Babinski reflex ALWAYS indicative of neurological damage or can this occur on its own.
Thank you.

 Dear Fearuvhorses,
The symptoms that you are describing although not typical but could be worriesome for a neurological disease called multiple sclerosis.
Babinski sign could be normal in infants below 2 years and in cases of adults in deep sleep. Otherwise, and to the best of my knowledge it is usually pathological.
Thank you very much for using our website http://doctorslounge.com and i hope that this information helped.
Yasser Mokhtar, M.D.
