Neurology - Pediatrics
The fellowship-trained pediatric neurologists at Marshall Health are experts in caring for children with problems involving the nervous system (brain, spinal cord, muscles, nerves). Our pediatric neurologists diagnose, treat and manage the following conditions:
- Seizure disorders, including seizures in newborns, febrile convulsions and epilepsy
- Medical aspects of head injuries and brain tumors
- Weakness, including cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and nerve-muscle disorders
- Headaches, including migraines
- Concussions
- Behavioral disorders, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), school failure, autism, and sleep problems
- Developmental disorders, including delayed speech, motor milestones, and coordination issues
- Mental retardation
- Hydrocephalus
At Marshall Health, our pediatric neurologists work as a team with the child’s pediatrician and other pediatric specialists to care for children with more complex medical conditions, such as epilepsy, birth defects or mental retardation. These conditions, in particular, are chronic conditions that require ongoing care and close follow-up throughout childhood and adolescence.
