Pediatric neurology is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating neurological conditions in children, encompassing diseases of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles.

When to Consult a Pediatric Neurologist?

 Regular neurological check-ups are recommended for children under one year of age.

Additionally, consider consulting a pediatric neurologist if your child experiences:

• Frequent or severe headaches
• Persistent back pain
• Signs of delayed speech or motor development
• Motor disorders or coordination issues
• Consequences of head injuries
• High fever that may suggest neurological issues
• Incontinence of urine and/or stool
• Repetitive movements such as tics or limb twitching 

Common Indications for Pediatric Neurology

• Seizures or epilepsy
• Cerebral palsy
• Developmental delays and disorders
• Stuttering and other speech problems
• Sleep disturbances
• Behavioral disorders
• Neuropathic conditions and neuroticism
• Spinal and cranial injuries
• Coordination and movement disorders 

Diagnostic and Treatment Methods

For accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, we employ:

• MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): To visualize detailed internal structures.
• MRA (Magnetic Resonance Angiography): To assess blood vessels and circulatory conditions.
• Color Doppler Ultrasound: For evaluating blood flow in certain neurological conditions.
• Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation: Tailored to each child’s needs, focusing on improving movement, strength, and coordination.

After diagnosis, we design a treatment plan that may include medication, tailored nutritional guidance, and lifestyle adjustments to ensure the best quality of life for your child. Physical therapy is often recommended to support recovery and development. We employ comprehensive diagnostic tools, including blood tests, to understand the underlying causes of neurological conditions, ensuring that each child receives the most effective treatment.
