Child Neurologist Cares
The Child Neurology is a specialty of medicine that deals with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the central nervous system (brain, cerebellum, brainstem, spinal) and peripheral (nerves and muscles) during all stages of life from conception – through the newborn, infant, preschool, school-to adolescence.
The Child Neurologist cares and is attentive to any deviation or alteration that the child present in their development, both from the cognitive perspective (learning, psychological) as a motor, in order to make an early diagnosis and timely treatment.
The child’s brain is a developing brain as the various manifestations of neurological diseases will be different according to age is presented.
The first objective will be to define whether it is a normal variation or a manifestation of disease. Read the rest of this entry »
Principles Of Neurology And Neurosurgery
Directed primarily to residents of neurology and neurosurgery, but also to physicians and emergency first-level managers to review and make an initial diagnosis for patients who may require treatment of neurological and neurosurgical intervention. In the text you will find topics such as:
1. Cerebrovascular Diseases.
2. Semiology spinomedular Pathology and physiology of the nervous system.
3. Extrapyramidal disorders intracranial tumors.
4. Multiple Sclerosis Diseases endplate:
5. Headache.
6. Aids and central nervous system.
How Is The Visit To a Neurologist?
The brain is a complex organ. For this reason, to discover the cause of your symptoms need to ask the neurologist very detailed questions. It is imperative to know exactly the history of all their ills. Then, his neurologist is likely to need to explore how their nervous system. You will need to observe their intelligence, language, memory and senses. Will look at the bottom of the eye, assess their strength, mobility in your joints, sensations in the arms and legs, balance, gait and finally reflexes. You may also need to know your blood pressure, heart rate and rhythm of their listening to heart sounds and lung. Then explain the most likely diagnosis and advise the most appropriate treatment.
This is usually done verbally and in writing (the report). Sometimes special tests, after questions and explore, your neurologist may request some special tests to help pinpoint the diagnosis. The most common are the CT, MRI, Doppler, electroencephalography, electromyography, and various blood tests. Each disease needs to explore different and some, such as migraines or Parkinson’s, usually do not need any. It is therefore important that the neurologist’s assessment test these techniques.
Duration of the course consultation, evaluation and exploration of the neurologist needs much more time than other specialists. It is very difficult to make accurate diagnoses in less than 30 minutes and often takes up to an hour. Unfortunately there are few neurologists and many patients, so they rarely have the necessary time.
What is neurology?
Neurology is the specialty of medicine applied to diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves and muscles.
What neurologists tend to treat diseases?
Circulatory diseases of the brain, such as thrombosis and bleeding. Migraine headaches, neuralgia and other special pains. Brain tumors. Dementias (Alzheimer’s and others). Meningitis, encephalitis and other nervous system infections. Epilepsies. Parkinson’s disease, tremor, tics and other movement disorders. Multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, polyneuropathy, muscular dystrophy, ataxias … And a long list that includes almost any cause paralysis.
Neurologists do not usually treat: psychological disorders or mental cause, such as depression, insomnia or anxiety. These are treated by psychiatrists. Surgical interventions in the brain, which are performed by neurosurgeons.
