What does a Paediatric Neurology doctor do?
A paediatric neurologist deals with nervous-system diseases and developmental disorders in infants and children: seizures and epilepsy, febrile convulsions, developmental delay (sitting, walking, speech), cerebral palsy, headaches, tics, sleep disorders and muscle weakness. Early diagnosis matters: the nervous system develops fastest in the first years, and rehabilitation started early changes the outcome.
Common reasons to consult
- Seizures and epilepsy
- Febrile convulsions
- Developmental delay
- Headaches
- Tics and movement disorders
- Abnormal muscle tone
Frequently asked questions
Does a febrile convulsion mean epilepsy?
No. Simple febrile seizures triggered by high fever in children aged 6 months to 5 years are not epilepsy and pass without consequences in most children. Even so, the child should see a paediatric neurologist after the first seizure; call emergency services if a seizure lasts longer than 5 minutes.
My child walks or talks later than peers — when should I worry?
A child who is not walking at 18 months, has no single words at 2 or two-word sentences at 3, does not make eye contact, or loses skills already gained should see a paediatric neurologist without delay. 'Let's wait, it will come' loses valuable time.
What is an EEG and is it harmful to a child?
An EEG records brain activity through electrodes placed on the head; it is completely painless and harmless, with no radiation or electric current. It takes 20–40 minutes; in infants it is more informative during sleep, so the doctor may ask you to bring the child sleep-deprived.
What treatment is there for cerebral palsy?
Cerebral palsy cannot be cured, but early and regular physiotherapy, medication and botulinum toxin injections for muscle stiffness, orthoses and orthopaedic surgery when needed greatly improve the child's mobility. Treatment is shared between the neurologist, rehabilitation specialist and orthopaedic surgeon.
