Pediatric Neurology

Pediatric neurology is a branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of neurological conditions in infants, children, and adolescents. The field covers a wide range of neurological disorders, including congenital conditions, developmental disorders, brain injuries, epilepsy, and neurogenetic disorders.

Key Areas in Pediatric Neurology

1. Development of the Nervous System in Children

Neurodevelopmental Stages: In pediatrics, understanding how the nervous system develops from birth through adolescence is crucial. Neurodevelopment includes the formation of neurons, synapses, and myelination, as well as the maturation of brain regions responsible for motor control, cognition, and sensory perception.

2. Common Pediatric Neurological Disorders

Epilepsy and Seizure Disorders: Seizures in children can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetic conditions, head trauma, infections, and metabolic disorders. Epilepsy is a chronic condition characterized by recurrent seizures. Diagnosis often involves EEG (electroencephalogram) to measure brain wave activity.
