PAEDIATRIC NEUROLOGY AND EPILEPSY

Pediatric neurology, or pediatric neurology, is a medical specialty that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders in newborns (newborns), infants, children, and adolescents. The discipline of child neurology encompasses diseases and disorders of the spinal cord, brain, peripheral nervous system, autonomic nervous system, muscles, and blood vessels that affect people in this age group. When a child has nervous system problems, a child neurologist has the training and expertise to evaluate, diagnose, and treat the child. The clinical pictures of child neurologists are very different, ranging from relatively simple diseases such as migraines or cerebral palsy to more complex and rare diseases such as metabolic diseases or neurodegenerative diseases.

Epilepsy is a class of neuro disorders classified by recurrent epilepsy attacks. Seizure is an episode that ranges from a shortened, almost imperceptible period to a long, violent tremor. These episodes can lead to physical injury such as bone fractures. In epilepsy, seizures tend to recur and usually have no immediate cause. Isolated seizures caused by specific causes such as poisoning are not deemed to represent epilepsy
