A Pediatric Neurologist (child neurologist, often called a "shishu neuro specialist" in Bangladesh) diagnoses and treats disorders of the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles in children from newborns up to about 18 years. Bangladeshi families most often see one for recurrent seizures and epilepsy, febrile convulsions, delayed milestones, cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, recurring headaches or migraine, muscle weakness, and conditions linked to birth asphyxia or premature birth. Some are sub-specialists in paediatric development and behaviour. In a typical consultation the doctor takes a detailed birth and developmental history, examines the child's tone, reflexes, movement and growth, and often reviews reports such as EEG, brain MRI/CT, or blood tests. They may then start medication, plan physiotherapy or occupational/speech therapy, and arrange follow-up. You should see a Pediatric Neurologist if your child has fits or staring spells, is not sitting, walking or talking on time, has a large or small head, frequent severe headaches, sudden loss of skills, or weakness on one side of the body.
