  1. Neurological Disorders

  2. Neurological Disorders Neurological disorders are diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system. In other words, the brain, spinal cord, cranial nerves, peripheral nerves, nerve roots, autonomic nervous system, neuromuscular junction, and muscles.

  3. Neurological Diseases • Diseases caused by faulty genes, such as Huntington's disease and muscular dystrophy • Problems with the way the nervous system develops, such as spina bifida • Degenerative diseases, where nerve cells are damaged or die, such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease • Diseases of the blood vessels that supply the brain, such as stroke

  4. Types of Neurological Disorders in Children There are different types of neurological conditions that affect the central and peripheral nervous system. These various types of neurological disorders can occur due to congenital (by birth), heredity, trauma, exposure to toxic chemicals, tumors and infections.

  5. Symptoms of Neurological Disorders • Developmental milestone delay • Abnormal head size • Lack of coordination • Sudden changes in mood or consciousness • Muscle rigidity • Tremors or seizures • Persistent headaches in older children

  6. Neurological Conditions in Newborns • Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) • Periventricular leukomalacia (PVL)

  7. Treatments of Neurological Disorders Treatments for neurological disorders range from open surgeries and minimally invasive surgeries to therapy, rehabilitation, medication, lifestyle changes and preventive measures. Every form of treatment is specific to the patient’s neurological condition. Complete and early evaluation of the neurological disorder is extremely vital to determining the best form of treatment in order to improve the lives of our patients.
