An introduction to paediatric neurology
Paediatric neurology is a specialised branch of medicine dedicated to diagnosing and treating neurological disorders in children. This field focuses on conditions affecting the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Paediatric neurologists are uniquely trained to address neurological issues in infants, children, and adolescents, whose nervous systems are still in developmental stages. This specialty encompasses a broad spectrum of disorders, from common ailments like headaches to complex conditions such as epilepsy and cerebral palsy. Renowned consultant paediatric neurologist Dr Rajib Samanta provides a comprehensive guide to what paediatric neurology involves.
