Overview
A neurologist is a medical doctor with
specialized training
in diagnosing, treating, and managing disorders of the brain and nervous system including, but not
limited to, Alzheimer’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), concussion, epilepsy, migraine,
multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and stroke.
A child or pediatric, neurologist specializes in the diagnosis and
treatment
of neurologic disorders in children from the neonatal period through adolescence. Some of the conditions
overlap with those seen by adult neurologists, and others are unique to this younger population. Child
neurologists treat many of the same common conditions found in adults such as migraine, epilepsy,
stroke, and Tourette’s and are also trained in conditions related to neurogenetics and developmental
problems.
Symptoms & Diagnosis
Neurologists are highly trained clinicians capable of diagnosing complex
conditions through detailed history and physical examination, including testing of mental status,
vision, speech, strength, sensation, coordination, reflexes, and gait. Even as medicine becomes more
dependent on technology, the neurological exam will remain a critical component of the patient
evaluation.
We are different from neurosurgeons as we do not perform brain or spinal
cord surgery. However, neurologists and neurosurgeons work closely together for several conditions,
sometimes even in the operating room.
