Department of Paediatric Neurology

The Department of Paediatric Neurology team at Anu Neuro and Cardiac is composed of highly skilled and experienced neurologists who provide considerate, complete neurology treatment for children and teenagers with diseases of the nervous system. The team’s scope is vast and covers both simple nervous issues and more complex neurological disorders such as those stemming from birth defects and genetic disorders.

Paediatric neurology or child neurology refers to a specialized branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and management of neurological conditions in neonates (new-borns), 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 individuals in these age groups.

If a child has problems that involve the nervous system, a paediatric neurologist has the specialist training and knowledge to assess, diagnose and treat the child. The conditions dealt with by paediatric neurologists vary considerably, from relatively simple disorders such as migraine or cerebral palsy through to more complex and rare conditions such as metabolic disease or neurodegenerative disorders.
