Pediatric Neurology is a specialized branch of medicine focused on diagnosing, managing, and treating neurological disorders in infants, children, and adolescents. This field encompasses a broad spectrum of conditions that affect the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, muscles, and nerves.
