CHILD NEUROLOGY / NEUROPEDIATRICS
When a child presents with a developmental disorder, it often has a grave impact on every member of the family. The Child Neurology Practice in the ATOS Clinic is specialized in the diagnosis of developmental disorders and other nervous system disorders in childhood and adolescence.
In the Child Neurology Practice, we are treating disorders of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) as well as disorders of the preripheral nervous and muscular systems in children and adolescents according to the international diagnostic and therapeutic standards for neuropediatrics.

HOW WE PERFORM
The necessary investigations in the field of neuropediatrics are performed in the child-friendly environment of our practice. We take time for a meticulous history, particularly regarding developmental and disease-related aspects, in the context of family history, genetics and social pediatrics. We are dedicated to performing a thorough neurological examination.
The comprehensive services offered in our practice include electroencephalography (EEG and sleep-EEG), neurophysiological examinations (nerve conduction studies, EMG, SSEP, VEP, AEP), developmental assessments by standardized test batteries as well as the coordination of further diagnostics (e.g. neuroimaging, genetics) and therapies.
