Frequently Asked Questions
For seizures, delayed milestones, abnormal movements, headaches or behavioural changes at any age.
Many childhood epilepsy syndromes are self-limiting. 60–70% of children achieve complete seizure freedom with correct medication.
A paediatric neurologist has 3 additional years of super-speciality training in brain, spine and nerve conditions in children.
Early signs include lack of eye contact, delayed speech or language skills, not responding to their name by 12 months, avoiding social interactions, repetitive behaviours, and unusual sensitivity to sounds or textures. Early diagnosis and therapy can significantly improve outcomes.
Seizures in children can be caused by epilepsy, febrile (fever-related) episodes, brain infections, electrolyte imbalances, head injury, genetic conditions, or structural brain abnormalities. A paediatric neurologist evaluates the cause with EEG and imaging to guide treatment.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of disorders affecting movement and posture caused by brain injury before, during, or shortly after birth. While there is no cure, early physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, medications, and surgical options can greatly improve quality of life and functional abilities.
Warning signs of meningitis include sudden high fever, stiff neck, severe headache, sensitivity to light, vomiting, skin rash (small red or purple spots), and altered consciousness. In infants, look for bulging fontanelle, high-pitched cry, and refusal to feed. Meningitis is a medical emergency — seek immediate care.
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterised by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It is managed through a combination of behavioural therapy, parent training, school support strategies, and in some cases, medication. Early intervention helps children perform better academically and socially.
Developmental delay is diagnosed through a thorough developmental history, neurological examination, standardised developmental assessment tools, and investigations such as MRI brain, EEG, genetic testing, and metabolic workup. Early identification allows prompt intervention through therapy programmes to support the child's growth and development.
Febrile seizures are convulsions triggered by a sudden rise in body temperature in children aged 6 months to 5 years. Simple febrile seizures lasting less than 15 minutes are generally not dangerous and do not cause brain damage. However, complex or prolonged seizures require detailed evaluation. Most children outgrow febrile seizures by age 5–6 years.
