Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of pediatric neurology has been constantly expanding in recent years. Improvements in the delivery room and in neonatal intensive care, imaging, and genetic and molecular diagnostics have significantly enhanced our ability to understand and manage these complex disorders. Despite these developments, challenges remain in the early detection, long-term care, quality of life and outcome assessment of pediatric patients.
Pediatric neurological disorders frequently require a multidisciplinary approach, as they often coexist with other condition such as sleep or neuropsychiatric disturbances, genetic syndromes, etc. As a result, researchers and clinicians worldwide must constantly update and refine their knowledge to keep pace with these developments.
The goal is to highlight recent advances in information, diagnostics, and treatment across the wide range of neurological disorders in children. Topics of interest include seizure disorders, hereditary neurologic disease, pediatric stroke, cerebral palsy, neuro-oncology, central nervous system infections and technology innovations in care.
We invite and strongly encourage contributions from researchers engaged in this interdisciplinary area to contribute devoted to advances in neurological disease.
This Special Issue seeks original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and case studies addressing the latest progress, ongoing challenges, and future directions in pediatric neurology. We also welcome studies that explore novel strategies for outcome assessment, treatment planning, and prognostic modelling. Contributions that integrate technological tools, novel therapeutics, and multidisciplinary strategies will be particularly valued.
