Precision Pediatric Care
Neurology Conditions Treated
Each condition is managed with modern & personalized neurological treatment. 80% of the patients are treated with medications alone.
Seizures & Epilepsy
Recurrent, unprovoked seizures, often co-occurring with conditions like Cerebral Palsy (CP) or following brain injury/infection.
Developmental & Cognitive
Intellectual disability, developmental delays, learning disabilities, and an increased risk of Autism or ADHD.
Motor & Physical
Spasticity (muscle stiffness), leading to contractures and bone/joint deformities; difficulties with walking and mobility.
Life-Threatening/Acute
Hydrocephalus (excess fluid in the brain), stroke (bleeding or blockage), and encephalopathy (altered mental status/coma) from severe infection or injury.
Sensory & Communication
Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) leading to aspiration pneumonia; vision and hearing impairment; speech difficulties.
Treatment-Related
Peripheral neuropathy (nerve pain/weakness) from chemotherapy; medication side effects (e.g., fatigue, cognitive changes, organ toxicity); complications from neurosurgery.
Our Procedures
Advanced Neurology Procedures
Advanced neurology procedures in children utilize cutting-edge technology and minimally invasive techniques for diagnosing and treating complex conditions like severe epilepsy, brain tumors, and hydrocephalus, while minimizing harm to the developing brain.
Neurostimulation Devices:
Vagal Nerve Stimulation (VNS) and Responsive Neurostimulation (RNS) are implanted devices that deliver electrical pulses to help control seizures.
LITT Laser Ablation
It is an advanced, minimally invasive neurosurgical procedure that uses targeted heat (thermal energy) to destroy small, diseased areas of the brain.
Video EEG Monitoring
Video EEG Monitoring (VEEG) is a crucial, advanced diagnostic tool in pediatric neurology, especially for children with suspected or confirmed epilepsy.It is essentially the continuous, simultaneous recording of a child’s brain electrical activity (EEG) and their physical behavior (Video)
MRI Guided Ultrasound
MRgFUS is a revolutionary, non-invasive medical procedure that combines two advanced technologies:
Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging.
Focused Ultrasound (FUS)
