Learning objectives

  1. To identify the various symptoms and signs in a child or young person experiencing a seizure, develop a comprehensive list of differential diagnosis, and understand the initial investigations necessary to confirm the diagnosis.

  2. To understand and explain the potential causes of seizures in neonates and infants, and propose appropriate initial investigative measures to confirm a diagnosis. This also encompasses the capacity to propose feasible management plans.

  3. To correctly assess and respond to a young patient presenting with a head injury, suggest appropriate initial investigations, and construct an effective primary management plan.

  4. To recognize the symptoms, developmental impacts and management strategies for common paediatric neurological conditions, such as febrile convulsion, cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophies.

  5. To gain a thorough understanding of severe conditions like meningitis and peripheral nerve injuries/palsies, their differential diagnoses, appropriate diagnostic investigations and potential management strategies.
