Paediatric neurologist

Who is a paediatric neurologist?

A paediatric neurologist is a doctor who specialises in diagnosing, treating and monitoring diseases of the nervous system in children, from newborns to adolescents.

This specialist helps to address problems such as:

• Developmental and movement disorders;
• Speech and behavioural problems;
• Headaches, dizziness and seizures;
• Epilepsy and other seizure disorders;
• Sleep disorders;
• Neurological complications following infections, injuries or other diseases.

A paediatric neurologist assesses the child's overall development, conducts necessary examinations, and develops an individualised treatment or rehabilitation plan. They work closely with the family doctor, speech therapist, physiotherapist and other specialists to provide the child with the best possible support and to improve their health.
