Pediatric Neurology
Pediatric neurology specializes in diagnosing and treating neurological disorders in infants, children, and adolescents, covering issues in the spinal cord, brain, peripheral and autonomic nervous systems, muscles, and blood vessels. Pediatric neurologists have unique skills to handle conditions ranging from common problems like migraines to complex issues such as metabolic diseases or neurodegenerative disorders. Pediatric neurosurgery employs advanced surgical techniques supported by ongoing research. Many neurological disorders in children are congenital, occurring at birth or during fetal development, while others emerge later in childhood, with diverse impacts on the child and their family.
