Pediatric Neurology: Compassionate Care for Your Child's Brain and Nervous System

The brain and nervous system are the command centers of the body, controlling everything from movement and speech to emotions and learning. In a child, these systems are still developing, making them uniquely susceptible to specific conditions that require specialized care. At Fakeeh University Hospital, our Pediatric Neurology department is dedicated to diagnosing and treating a full spectrum of neurological disorders in children and adolescents. We understand that a child's neurological health is fundamental to their overall development and quality of life.

Our expert team of pediatric neurologists, neurosurgeons, and therapists provides compassionate, family-centred care. We use the latest diagnostic technologies and evidence-based treatments to help children with a wide range of neurological conditions, ensuring they have the best possible chance to thrive.

‍Our expertise covers a variety of conditions, including:

Epilepsy and Seizure Disorders: We provide advanced diagnostic and treatment options for children with seizures, including medication management and pre-surgical evaluations.
Headaches and Migraines: We help identify triggers and develop personalized management plans for children suffering from chronic headaches or migraines.
Developmental Delays: Our team assesses and provides interventions for children with delays in speech, motor skills, or cognitive development.
Cerebral Palsy: We offer comprehensive care and management plans to improve function and quality of life for children with cerebral palsy.
Movement Disorders: We diagnose and treat conditions that cause involuntary movements, such as tics, tremor, or dystonia.
Neuromuscular Disorders: We manage conditions affecting the nerves and muscles, such as muscular dystrophy.
Neuro-genetic Disorders: We work with genetic counselors to diagnose and manage neurological conditions with a genetic basis.
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): We offer specialized evaluations and collaborative care for these common neurodevelopmental conditions.

Our Approach to Pediatric Neurological Care

At Fakeeh University Hospital, our approach to Pediatric Neurology is built on a foundation of collaboration, technology, and empathy. We believe that effective care for a child requires a holistic perspective that involves their family, school, and other healthcare providers.

Comprehensive Diagnosis: We use a range of advanced diagnostic tools, including EEG (electroencephalogram) for brain activity, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) for detailed brain structure, and genetic testing.
Personalized Treatment Plans: Every child's condition is unique. Our specialists create individualized treatment plans that may include medication, physical or occupational therapy, behavioral therapy, or dietary changes.
Multidisciplinary Team: Our specialists collaborate with a team of other professionals, including pediatric neurosurgeons, child psychologists, physical therapists, and speech-language pathologists, to provide complete care. This ensures that every aspect of your child's needs is addressed.
Family-Centered Care: We empower parents with the knowledge and resources they need to be active participants in their child's treatment. We take the time to answer questions and explain complex medical information in a clear, understandable way.
