Our Paediatric Neurology Services
Paediatric Neurology Consultation
A paediatric neurology consultation helps evaluate concerns related to the brain, nerves, muscles, development, movement, behaviour, and neurological function in children.
During consultation, the doctor may review:
The aim is to understand the child’s condition clearly and plan appropriate treatment, monitoring, and follow-up.
Epilepsy and Seizure Care
Children with seizures or repeated episodes of unconsciousness may need timely neurological evaluation.
Care may include:
The goal is to help identify the cause of seizures and support long-term seizure management.
Cerebral Palsy Care
Cerebral palsy may affect movement, posture, muscle tone, coordination, and development.
Paediatric neurology support may include:
Care is planned according to the child’s age, functional needs, symptoms, and developmental goals.
Developmental Delay Assessment
Developmental delays may involve motor skills, speech, language, learning, behaviour, or social development.
A paediatric neurologist may assess:
Early evaluation can help guide intervention and support the child’s progress.
Neuromuscular Disorder Evaluation
Neuromuscular disorders can affect muscles, nerves, strength, movement, walking, and daily function.
Evaluation may include:
The treatment plan depends on the diagnosis, severity, and individual needs of the child.
Headache and Migraine Evaluation
Persistent or recurrent headaches in children should be evaluated, especially when they affect school, sleep, appetite, activity, or daily life.
A paediatric neurologist may help assess:
Electroencephalography, or EEG, is a test used to record electrical activity in the brain.
It may be advised for children with:
EEG helps the doctor assess brain activity and plan further care.
Neuroimaging
Neuroimaging helps visualise the structure of the brain and supports diagnosis in selected neurological conditions.
At Sitaram Bhartia, neuroimaging support may include in-house CT scan imaging and other imaging support based on clinical need.
Neuroimaging may be advised for children with:
A muscle biopsy is a procedure in which a small sample of muscle tissue is taken for examination.
It may be advised in selected children when the doctor needs more information about a suspected muscle or neuromuscular disorder.
The decision is made after careful clinical evaluation and discussion with the family.
Genetic Testing
Genetic testing may be advised in selected cases to identify genetic causes of neurological or neuromuscular symptoms.
It may help in:
Genetic testing is recommended based on the child’s symptoms, family history, clinical findings, and doctor’s assessment.
Multidisciplinary Care
Many neurological conditions in children require support from more than one specialist.
Multidisciplinary care may include coordination with:
This helps address the child’s medical, developmental, functional, emotional, and family support needs together.
Coordinated Care with Other Specialties
Paediatric neurological conditions may require ongoing support and coordination across departments.
Our Paediatric Neurology service works closely with:
This coordinated approach helps ensure that all aspects of the child’s health and development are considered.
