Neurology is usually called the pathology of the nervous system, although in reality it is a science that studies them. Pathological phenomena of the nervous system should never be left without doctors' attention! Neurology in children - especially. Diseases of the nervous system lead to serious consequences, because the most optimistic diagnosis when ignoring a disease is the delay in the development of the speech and psychomotor apparatus. Then there may be hyperactivity, attention deficit disorder. Such children are on the verge of neuroses, nervous tics and inadequate behavior.
Symptoms of pathologies of the nervous system
Some signs of neurology in children are quite eloquent, so sleep disturbances, shaking chin or handles, legs, frequent regurgitation, pinching of the toes in standing position should alert the parents. These symptoms are an occasion to appeal to a pediatric neurologist. However, the symptoms of neurology in children can be blurred, but if it is difficult for parents to notice them, then an experienced neurologist can draw the right conclusions.
Treatment of pathologies and prognosis
Fortunately, neurology in infants in most cases is amenable to adjustment and treatment. The doctor carefully should analyze the features of the lifestyle of the baby, starting with monitoring the pregnancy of the mother. If neurology of premature infants or infants with pathologies has an unclear etymology, then additional studies are being performed. Parents are offered to conduct a child's examination of the fundus of the baby, ultrasound, doppler, EEG. In extreme cases, an MRI may be required.
The brain in the first months of the baby's life develops very actively, its structures mature, as well as mental and motor functions. It is for this reason that it is very important to diagnose as early as possible and to prescribe an effective treatment.
As a treatment, combined methods are often used combining drugs, the clinical effectiveness of which has already been proven, and massages, physiotherapy exercises, physiotherapy. In addition, modern neuropathologists are constantly replenishing their arsenal with new methods of neurological rehabilitation: computer speech programs, methods for improving coordination of movement, cerebellar stimulation, etc.
In order to be sure of your child's health, parents should visit a neurologist every three months before reaching one year. Then the inspection is conducted annually.
