neurology
All neurologists study the disorders of the brain, but the study of adult and child brain disorders trains specialists to care for young patients.
Overview
A neurologist is a medical professional with advanced training in identifying, treating, and managing conditions of the brain and nervous system. This includes disorders like Alzheimer’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), concussion, epilepsy, migraine, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and stroke.
A pediatric neurologist specializes in diagnosing and treating neurological conditions in children from infancy through adolescence. While some disorders overlap with those seen in adults, others are specific to younger patients. Pediatric neurologists handle common issues like migraines, epilepsy, stroke, and Tourette’s, as well as conditions involving neurogenetics and developmental challenges.
Symptoms & Diagnosis
Neurologists are skilled clinicians capable of diagnosing complex conditions through thorough history and physical examination. This includes assessments of mental status, vision, speech, strength, sensation, coordination, reflexes, and gait. Despite advancements in technology, the neurological exam remains a vital component of patient evaluation.
We differ from neurosurgeons as we do not perform surgeries on the brain or spinal cord. However, neurologists and neurosurgeons collaborate closely for various conditions, sometimes even in the operating room.
