Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the common symptoms of pediatric neurological conditions?
Common symptoms include developmental delays, seizures, abnormal muscle tone, and issues with movement or coordination. Symptoms can vary widely depending on the specific condition. Seek medical evaluation if you notice any developmental or behavioral concerns in your child.

Treatment for spina bifida typically involves surgical intervention to repair the spinal defect and minimize complications. While there is no cure, surgical and rehabilitative measures can significantly improve outcomes and enhance quality of life.
