Paediatric Neurology

Paediatric Neurology

Pediatric neurological disorders encompass a wide array of conditions that can vary greatly in severity and necessary treatment approaches, ranging from common conditions like febrile seizures to rare and complex neurometabolic disorders. These disorders may lead to multiple disabilities and complex medical needs, requiring a multidisciplinary approach to care. This is particularly crucial in India where comprehensive pediatric neurology centers are sparse, especially in rural areas, creating significant treatment gaps.

Our pediatric neurology service offers specialized clinics for a broad spectrum of conditions such as:

  • Epilepsy and febrile seizures
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Neuromuscular disorders, including muscular dystrophy
  • Spinal Deformities
  • Movement disorders and dystonia
  • Headaches and migraine
  • Rare neurodegenerative and neurogenetic disorders
  • Congenital metabolic issues impacting the nervous system
  • Autism spectrum disorders
  • Behavioral disorders
  • Acute emergencies like head injuries and paediatric brain tumors
  • Speech disabilities and learning disabilities

Symptoms of paediatric neurological disorders can manifest at any stage from infancy through adolescence. Common presenting symptoms include seizures, delayed motor milestones like sitting or walking, speech delays, and behavioral or academic challenges. Acute conditions may present with sudden symptoms such as fever, unconsciousness, loss of function (e.g., movement, speech, vision), and seizures.

Paediatric Neurology Treatment options

Treatment varies based on the underlying cause but generally includes:

  • Medications for seizure control, muscle tone management, and behavioral modulation
  • Surgical Interventions
  • Therapeutic interventions form the cornerstone of managing chronic conditions, with options including:
    • Physiotherapy
    • Occupational Therapy
    • Speech and Language Therapy
    • Behavioral Therapy
    • Clinical Psychology
