Diagnosis often involves a multi-faceted approach:
- Clinical History: Gathering detailed information about the child’s health and developmental history. - Physical and Neurological Exam: Assessing reflexes, muscle strength, and sensory responses. - Imaging Studies: Techniques like MRI and CT scans help visualize structural abnormalities. - Electroencephalogram (EEG): Measures electrical activity in the brain, useful in diagnosing epilepsy. - Genetic Testing: Identifies inherited conditions that may cause neurological issues.
