Pediatric Neurology
Pediatric neurology focuses on neurological development and disorders affecting infants and children, including congenital abnormalities, epilepsy, metabolic brain diseases, and developmental delays. Pathophysiological mechanisms may involve genetic mutations, abnormal neural maturation, structural malformations, or metabolic dysfunction. Diagnostic assessment uses neuroimaging, electrophysiology, and developmental evaluations to identify early abnormalities. Treatment emphasizes neurodevelopmental support, targeted therapy, and long-term neurological monitoring. Research advances continue to improve understanding of childhood brain plasticity and early-intervention strategies.
