Understanding Pediatric Neurological Disorders

Neurological disorders in children can be congenital (present at birth) or acquired due to injury, infections, or other medical conditions. Some of the most common conditions that require neurosurgical expertise include:

1. Brain Tumors in Children

A brain tumor is an abnormal growth of cells in the brain. Common symptoms of pediatric brain tumors include:
🔹 Persistent headaches
🔹 Nausea and vomiting
🔹 Seizures
🔹 Vision or hearing problems
🔹 Balance and coordination issues
🔹 Behavioral or cognitive changes

Treatment: Dr. Kiyawat specializes in advanced brain tumor surgeries, minimally invasive procedures, and post-surgical rehabilitation to ensure the best possible outcome for children.

2. Neurological Disorders

Neurological disorders affect the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Some of the common conditions include:

✅ Epilepsy: A disorder causing repeated seizures.
✅ Cerebral Palsy: A condition affecting movement and muscle coordination.
✅ Hydrocephalus: A buildup of fluid in the brain, leading to increased pressure.
✅ Developmental Delays: Delays in motor skills, speech, and cognitive function.

Symptoms to Watch For:
🔹 Seizures or convulsions
🔹 Delayed speech or movement milestones
🔹 Difficulty in coordination or muscle weakness
🔹 Sudden behavioral changes

Treatment Options: Depending on the severity of the condition, medications, surgical procedures, and therapy can help manage these disorders effectively.

3. Spinal Cord Problems in Children

Spinal cord abnormalities can lead to mobility issues, nerve damage, and chronic pain. Some common conditions include:

✅ Spina Bifida: A birth defect where the spinal cord does not develop properly.
✅ Tethered Spinal Cord Syndrome: A condition causing restricted movement of the spinal cord.
✅ Scoliosis: An abnormal curvature of the spine.

Symptoms of Spinal Cord Issues:
🔹 Weakness in the legs or difficulty walking
🔹 Bowel and bladder control problems
🔹 Back pain or spinal deformities

Treatment: Dr. Kiyawat offers advanced neurosurgical procedures, including spinal cord decompression and corrective surgeries to improve a child’s mobility and quality of life.

4. Congenital Neurological Disorders

Some neurological disorders are present at birth and can significantly impact a child’s life. Early diagnosis and treatment play a crucial role in managing these conditions.

✅ Chiari Malformation: A condition where brain tissue extends into the spinal canal.
✅ Dandy-Walker Syndrome: A brain malformation affecting balance and movement.
✅ Craniosynostosis: A premature closure of skull sutures leading to skull deformities.

Symptoms of Congenital Neurological Disorders:
🔹 Abnormal head shape or skull growth
🔹 Developmental delays
🔹 Coordination and movement difficulties

Treatment: Surgical interventions and therapy help correct these conditions and ensure better neurological function.

Spinal Tumors: What You Need to Know

Image
  Spinal tumors are abnormal growths that develop in or around the spinal cord and spine. They can significantly impact mobility, cause pain, and affect overall quality of life. Early diagnosis and expert care are essential for effective management and treatment. Understanding Spinal Tumors A spinal tumor can develop inside the spinal cord (intramedullary), outside the spinal cord but within the spinal canal (extramedullary), or in the vertebrae (vertebral tumors). These tumors may be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), and both types can pose serious health risks due to their potential impact on the nervous system. Essential Facts About Spinal Tumors Types of Spinal Tumors Matter Spinal tumors are categorized into: Primary Tumors – Originate in the spine or spinal cord. Secondary (Metastatic) Tumors – Spread from cancers in other parts of the body, such as breast, lung, or prostate cancer. Benign Tumors – Non-cancerous but can still cause serious complications.

Understanding Craniovertebral Junction Surgery: When and Why It Is Needed

Image
 The craniovertebral junction (CVJ) is a critical area at the base of the skull and the upper cervical spine. It plays a pivotal role in connecting the brain to the spinal cord and facilitating essential bodily functions such as breathing, movement, and coordination. Any abnormalities or damage in this area can lead to severe complications, making timely medical intervention crucial. One such intervention is craniovertebral junction surgery. What is Craniovertebral Junction Surgery? Craniovertebral junction surgery is a specialized neurosurgical procedure aimed at correcting structural abnormalities, stabilizing the region, or decompressing the brainstem and spinal cord in the CVJ area. The surgery is often complex due to the intricate anatomy and the vital structures involved. When is Craniovertebral Junction Surgery Needed? CVJ surgery is typically recommended for the following conditions: 1. Congenital Abnormalities Some individuals are born with structural defects in the cranio...

Comprehensive Guide to Herniated (Slipped) Disc Surgery and Recovery

Image
  What is a Herniated Disc? A herniated disc, commonly referred to as a "slipped disc," occurs when the soft, jelly-like center of an intervertebral disc pushes through a crack in the tougher outer layer. This can irritate nearby nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness. The condition commonly affects the neck (cervical spine) or lower back (lumbar spine) and can significantly impact your mobility and quality of life. Symptoms of a Herniated Disc If you're experiencing any of the following symptoms, it could indicate a herniated disc: Persistent Back or Neck Pain Continuous pain in the lower back or neck is one of the most common symptoms. Tingling or Numbness in Arms or Legs A herniated disc can press against nerve roots, causing a tingling sensation or numbness along the affected nerve. Muscle Weakness Weakness in the muscles connected to the affected nerve can make daily activities difficult. Causes of a Herniated Disc Several factors can contribute to a herniate...
