Paediatric neurologist

If your child complains of frequent headaches, sleeps poorly, is overly restless or has a noticeable developmental delay, there is no need to delay a visit to a specialist. At Kandinsky Clinic in Dubai, you will be treated with care and sensitivity by experienced paediatric neurologists.

From intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorders and ADHD to emotional and behavioural disorders, a neurologist is a doctor who can spot developmental disorders in children.

In these situations, it is especially important not to miss the moment: a timely diagnosis gives the opportunity to start support and correction in time. This helps children to better learn basic skills, including communication skills, avoid the development of specific fears and even prevent the development of chronic pain.

Neurology is developing rapidly in Dubai, and Kandinsky Clinic has good paediatric specialists who know how to support young patients. Paediatric neurology helps to manage not only developmental delays but also problems such as stress and anxiety, which are increasingly common even in young children.

The doctor neurologist conducts a detailed examination of the state of the nervous system to accurately determine the cause of complaints. It is not uncommon for anxiety, irritability or learning difficulties to be associated with disorders of the central nervous system or the effects of stress.

Chronic pain is another common reason to see a neurologist. It can manifest as headaches, back pain, and can also accompany conditions like chronic tonsillitis or irritable bowel syndrome.

Our doctors can help identify the source of the pain and tailor treatment to make your child feel well. Treatment is aimed not only at eliminating symptoms, but also at relieving emotional and physical stress, as it often relieves the underlying complaints.

When a consultation with a paediatric neurologist is needed:

• The child is underdeveloped (does not sit, does not speak, does not walk on time)
• Frequent headaches or dizziness
• Convulsions, tics, episodes of loss of consciousness
• Emotional swings, anxiety, sleep disturbances
• Notable changes in behaviour or motor skills
• The consequences of head trauma, birth trauma or surgery
• Diagnosis of ‘epilepsy’ or suspicion of it.

Reception is hosted by:

• Elena Zhurkina is a neurologist with 20 years of experience who sees children from 0 years old.
• Elena Lysogorskaya - Candidate of Medical Sciences, accepts children from 3 years old. She is a member of the European Academy of Neurology and actively applies modern approaches to diagnosis and rehabilitation.
