Pediatric Neurology
Pediatric Neurology is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating neurological disorders in children. These disorders can affect the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, leading to conditions such as epilepsy, cerebral palsy, and autism spectrum disorders. Pediatric neurologists work closely with families to manage these conditions and improve the quality of life for their patients.
In addition to treating existing conditions, pediatric neurologists also conduct research to better understand neurological diseases in children. They often collaborate with other specialists, such as pediatricians and neurosurgeons, to provide comprehensive care. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for optimal outcomes in pediatric neurology.
