Guiding young minds towards brighter tomorrows

Diagnostic Work Up

• Electroencephalogram (EEG)

  Routine and Sleep-Deprived EEG: Records the brain's electrical activity to detect abnormal patterns associated with epilepsy, seizures and other neurological conditions.

  Video-EEG Monitoring: Continuous, long-term monitoring to capture and analyse seizure events for precise diagnosis and localisation.

• Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) and Electromyography (EMG)

  Evaluates the function of peripheral nerves and muscles to diagnose neuromuscular disorders such as peripheral neuropathy, muscular dystrophy and myasthenia gravis.

• Neuroimaging

  Dedicated Paediatric Brain CT and MRI: High-resolution scans tailored for children to assess brain structure, identify tumours, congenital malformations, stroke or signs of infection.

  Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS): Advanced imaging to analyse the chemical composition of brain tissue, aiding in the diagnosis of metabolic disorders.

• Genetic and Metabolic Testing

  Comprehensive blood and CSF (Cerebrospinal Fluid) analysis to identify underlying genetic syndromes and inborn errors of metabolism that affect neurological function.

Interventional and Advanced Management

• Intrathecal Baclofen Pump Management

  Surgical placement and management of a device that delivers muscle relaxant medication (Baclofen) directly into the spinal fluid to control severe spasticity in conditions like Cerebral Palsy.

• Vagal Nerve Stimulation (VNS)

  Implantation and programming of a device that sends electrical pulses to the brain via the vagus nerve, used as an adjunctive therapy for drug-resistant epilepsy.

• Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Assessment

  Evaluation for this surgical treatment, which involves implanting electrodes in specific brain areas to manage certain movement disorders in older children and teens.

• Neuro-Rehabilitation Planning

  Creation of integrated plans incorporating physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech and language therapy following stroke, brain injury or for long-term conditions like Cerebral Palsy.

Medical Management and Specialised Clinics

• Epilepsy and Seizure Disorders

  We manage all types of epilepsy, from common forms to rare and complex syndromes. Our approach includes:

  Antiepileptic Drug (AED) Optimisation: Individualised drug regimens to achieve seizure freedom with minimal side effects.

  Dietary Therapies: Management of the Ketogenic Diet, Modified Atkins Diet and Low Glycaemic Index Treatment for refractory epilepsy.

• 

• Neurodevelopmental Disorders

  Comprehensive care for conditions affecting a child's development, including:

  Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): Integrated management focusing on co-occurring neurological issues, such as anxiety or seizures.

  Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Medical and behavioural interventions.

  Learning Disabilities and Global Developmental Delay.

• Movement Disorders

  Diagnosis and treatment of conditions causing involuntary movements, such as Dystonia, Tremors and Tics/Tourette Syndrome.

• Headache and Migraine Clinic

  Specialised diagnosis and management of chronic or debilitating headaches and migraines in children and adolescents, including acute treatment and long-term prophylactic strategies.

• Neuromuscular Disorders

  Care for progressive muscle weakness and loss of function, including Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), Muscular Dystrophies and Myasthenia Gravis. Treatment may involve novel gene therapies and supportive care.

• Neuro-Oncology and Neurofibromatosis

  In collaboration with oncology, we manage the neurological complications of brain and spinal cord tumours and provide specialised surveillance for Neurofibromatosis and other neurocutaneous syndromes.

• Cerebral Palsy and Spasticity Management

  A multidisciplinary programme for managing the motor and associated neurological impairments of Cerebral Palsy, including medication, Botox injections for focal spasticity and rehabilitation planning.

• Autoimmune and Inflammatory CNS Disorders

  Diagnosis and treatment of conditions where the immune system attacks the central nervous system, such as Multiple Sclerosis and Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM).

• Stroke and Vascular Neurology

  Rapid diagnosis and management of paediatric stroke, focusing on acute intervention and long-term recovery and prevention.

• Sleep Disorders

  Assessment and management of neurologically-related sleep issues, including narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome and complex parasomnias.
