Frequently asked questions
What conditions does a pediatric neurologist treat?
A pediatric neurologist treats diseases of the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves and muscles in children aged 0–18: headache, seizures and epilepsy, developmental delay, stuttering, tics, hyperactivity, cerebral palsy and neurological problems in newborns. Details: conditions and testing.
At what age should a child see a neurologist?
Even without a specific complaint, babies born prematurely or after a difficult delivery should be followed by a neurologist in the first months. In other cases you come because of a concern: if your child is not developing in line with their age, has had a seizure, or has recurring headaches. Signs by age are listed in the guide for parents.
What should I bring to the visit?
Your child's previous test results, an EEG and MRI if you have them, and a list of the medications your child takes. If there has been a seizure or an unusual movement, a video taken on your phone is the most valuable information for the doctor.
