In the past, child neurology practice was limited to cerebral palsy, seizures and CNS infections. However, with advancements in imaging, neurophysiology (EEG/EMG/Evoked potentials), metabolic and biochemical testing and genetics, today a child neurologist manages a wide variety of disorders of the nervous system.
In partnership with The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), our Pediatric Neurology Unit at Danat Al Emarat Hospital in Abu Dhabi manage children that suffer from:
- Epilepsy including children on dietary therapies or with a implanted vagal nerve stimulator
- Developmental delay
- Movement disorders
- Neuro-metabolic disorders
- Strokes
- Neuromuscular diseases
- Demyelinating disorders
- Neonatal neurological problems
- Acute neurological problems
- Support in the management of children with cerebral palsy and autism
- Support in the management of children with speech and language delays
