At “Heart Diagnostic Center,” we understand how important children’s health is—not only physical health, but also their neurological development. That’s why we offer specialized care in the field of pediatric neurology—a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of nervous system disorders in children from early age to 18 years.

What is pediatric neurology?

Pediatric neurology focuses on the brain, spinal cord, muscles, and nerves in children. Unlike adult neurology, childhood neurological conditions often manifest differently and require a specific approach. Additionally, early intervention is crucial in young patients because the brain and nervous system are still developing and have great potential for recovery.

Our pediatric neurology specialists have extensive experience and a child-friendly approach, combining medical expertise with patience and attention to each child and their family.

When should you see a pediatric neurologist?

Certain symptoms in children may indicate the need for a consultation with a pediatric neurologist. These may include:

• Delayed motor development (late walking, coordination issues)
• Unusual movements or tremors
• Frequent or unexplained seizures
• Headaches that occur frequently and interfere with daily life
• Sleep problems
• Attention difficulties and hyperactivity
• Behavioral or emotional challenges
• Delayed speech and communication skills
• Conditions in which the child stops acquiring new skills or loses previously acquired ones

It is important for parents not to underestimate the signs their child is giving. Early diagnosis and timely intervention can significantly improve prognosis and quality of life.

What conditions does a pediatric neurologist treat?

At “Heart Diagnostic Center,” we offer diagnosis and monitoring of a wide range of neurological conditions:

• Cerebral palsy (CP)
• Epilepsy and other types of seizures
• Headaches and migraines in childhood
• Neuromuscular disorders – muscle weakness, congenital muscular dystrophies
• Congenital anomalies of the brain or spinal cord
• Infections of the nervous system – meningitis, encephalitis, etc.
• Delayed psychomotor development
• Autism spectrum disorders with neurological features
• Tics, Tourette syndrome, and other movement disorders

What to expect during a pediatric neurology consultation?

The consultation begins with a detailed discussion with the parents—it is important to gather information about the child’s development starting from pregnancy and birth. The specialist then performs a neurological examination, focusing on motor skills, reflexes, coordination, muscle tone, vision, and hearing.

If necessary, additional tests may be ordered, such as:

• Electroencephalography (EEG) – to assess brain electrical activity
• Electromyography (EMG) – to evaluate nerves and muscles
• Imaging studies – computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
• Laboratory tests, if an infection or metabolic issue is suspected

All tests are performed in partner laboratories and diagnostic units we work with, in order to provide fast and accurate service.
