Neurological Disorders in Pediatrics and Neonates
Children's neurological disorders are characterized by abnormalities in the brain, nervous system, or muscle cells. These conditions can include epilepsy, migraine headaches, movement disorders, and other conditions. The condition, such as spina bifida or hydrocephalus (fluid in the brain), can be acquired in childhood or acquired later in life as a result of a serious injury or infection.
Key is early diagnosis and treatment. We should call the child's pediatrician for an evaluation if the child's normal behavior has changed significantly. Abnormal muscle tone at birth, seizures, a floppy baby, subtle staring or unresponsive episodes, slow language and/or motor skills, and a decline in developmental milestones are some of the warning signs of a neurological disorder.
