Neurological signs or symptoms are present in approximately 20% of
all chil dren admitted to the hospital. These may be the reason for
admission or may be part of preexisting and often unrelated
problems. In ambulatory practice, acute neurological disease is not
seen as frequently, but issues relating to normal and abnormal
development are constantly being faced. For these reasons,
familiarity with the progress of normal development and factors
interfering with it, as well as knowledge of the major acute and
chronic disorders of the nervous and neu romuscular systems, is
important for any practitioner, specialist, or generalist who cares
for children. The pathophysiology of neurological disorders in
childhood is based on the same principles of the organization,
structure, and function of the nervous sys tem as apply to adults.
Two pitfalls are present for the student, however. First, the
abnormalities are superimposed on a changing, developing brain, not
a rather static, mature organ. The manifestations of the disease
may vary, there fore, in seemingly unpredictable fashion depending
on the rate of progression of the disorder and the rate and
adequacy of the ongoing developmental changes in the nervous
system. The second problem is the large number of unfa miliar
conditions, many of which have no counterpart in adult neurology or
medicine. These include developmental malformations, disorders
specific to the neonatal period, and many hereditary and metabolic
diseases."
