Neurology is a specialized medical functioning with conditions of the neurological system.

2. Neurological disorders are diseases of
the central and peripheral nervous
system. In other words, the brain, spinal
cord, cranial nerves, peripheral
nerves, nerve roots, autonomic nervous
system, neuromuscular junction, and
muscles.

3.  Diseases caused by faulty genes, such as
Huntington's disease and muscular dystrophy
 Problems with the way the nervous system
develops, such as spina bifida
 Degenerative diseases, where nerve cells are
damaged or die, such as Parkinson's disease and
Alzheimer's disease
 Diseases of the blood vessels that supply the brain,
such as stroke

4. There are different types of
neurological conditions that
affect the central and peripheral
nervous system. These various
types of neurological disorders
can occur due to congenital (by
birth), heredity, trauma, exposur
e to toxic chemicals, tumors and
infections.

5.  Developmental milestone delay
 Abnormal head size
 Lack of coordination
 Sudden changes in mood or
consciousness
 Muscle rigidity
 Tremors or seizures
 Persistent headaches in older
children

6.  Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH)
 Periventricular leukomalacia (PVL)

7. Treatments for neurological disorders range from
open surgeries and minimally invasive surgeries to
therapy, rehabilitation, medication, lifestyle
changes and preventive measures. Every form of
treatment is specific to the patient’s neurological
condition. Complete and early evaluation of the
neurological disorder is extremely vital to
determining the best form of treatment in order
to improve the lives of our patients.
