Children grow quickly, and so do their brains, nerves and muscles. That is why neurological concerns in childhood need care designed specifically for a developing body. At the Children's Clinic at Sterling Hospitals, we provide specialised neurological care for infants, children and adolescents.

When a child experiences seizures, frequent headaches, muscle weakness, unusual movements or developmental concerns, it can be difficult for parents to know what is normal and what needs medical attention. Our specialists focus on early evaluation, accurate diagnosis and age-appropriate treatment, while considering how the condition may affect the child's growth, development, learning, movement and everyday life.

Conditions and Areas of Care

• Epilepsy and Seizure Care

Seizures in children can present in different ways. While some may involve visible shaking or loss of consciousness, others may appear as staring spells, unusual movements or brief episodes of reduced awareness. Our specialists evaluate the child to understand the possible cause, confirm the diagnosis and plan appropriate treatment.

Care may include:

• Seizure evaluation and diagnosis
• Epilepsy assessment and management
• Age-appropriate neurological investigations
• Personalised medical treatment
• Ongoing monitoring and follow-up

• Headache and Migraine Care

Frequent or severe headaches can affect a child's school, sleep, concentration and everyday activities. Children with migraine may also experience nausea, sensitivity to light or sound, dizziness or recurring episodes of pain. Our specialists assess the pattern and possible causes of headaches and recommend treatment based on the child's symptoms and needs.

Care may include:

• Evaluation of recurring or severe headaches
• Migraine diagnosis and management
• Assessment of possible triggers
• Medical management
• Lifestyle guidance and follow-up

• Congenital Neurological Disorders

Some neurological conditions may be present from birth, while others become noticeable as a child grows. They may affect the brain, spinal cord, nerves, muscles, movement or development. Early evaluation can help identify these conditions and guide timely treatment, monitoring and supportive care.

Care may include:

• Screening for congenital neurological disorders
• Assessment of developmental and neurological concerns
• Evaluation of movement and muscle-related symptoms
• Appropriate diagnostic investigations
• Treatment planning and long-term monitoring

• Nerve and Muscle Disorders

Nerve and muscle disorders can affect a child's strength, movement, coordination and ability to perform everyday activities. Symptoms may include muscle weakness, difficulty walking, unusual movements or reduced muscle function. Our specialists assess these concerns to identify the underlying condition and plan care according to the child's age and individual needs.

Care may include:

• Evaluation of muscle weakness
• Assessment of nerve and muscle function using EMG
• Diagnosis of congenital and childhood nerve-muscle disorders, including peripheral neuropathy
• Age-appropriate investigations
• Treatment and ongoing follow-up
