What We Do

Pediatric Neurology

Pediatric neurologists are best prepared to diagnose and manage children with all varieties of neurological disorders. Through PNI, children are provided detailed evaluation and examination, ensuring accurate diagnosis and treatment. Radiological studies, such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), or positron emission tomography (PET) scans may be ordered. EEGs may also be performed. Conditions treated by pediatric neurologists include:

• Cerebral palsy
• Hydrocephalus
• Encephalopathies
• Vascular disorders
• Movement disorders
• Peripheral neuropathies
• Degenerative disorders
• Cranial nerve disorders
• Brain and spinal cord injuries
• Headaches, including migraine
• Congenital malformations (birth defects)
• Chromosomal and metabolic abnormalities
• Dysraphism/ spina bifida (spinal cord malformation)
• Neuromuscular disorders (muscular dystrophy, spasticity, etc.)
• Neurocutaneous syndromes (neurofibromatosis, tuberous sclerosis, etc.)
• Epilepsy (seizure disorders)
