Pediatric Neurological Disorders

Any condition that is caused by a dysfunction in part of the brain or nervous system which results in physical and/or psychological symptoms can be categorized under Neurologic disorders. Neurological disorders occurring at an age from preterm neonatal to late adolescence (19-21 years old) are pediatric neurological disorders. Brain tumors, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy and stroke are the most common ones which come under a huge list of more than 600 diseases of the nervous system. Among them many are hereditary which is a result of genetic mutations in the genes of the individual and can be passed on to the next generation.
