Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a rare but serious genetic disorder that affects the motor nerve cells in the spinal cord, leading to progressive muscle wasting and weakness. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial to managing the condition effectively and improving the quality of life in children affected by this disease. At our medical center, we provide comprehensive care and support for children diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy.

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a severe genetic disorder that primarily affects boys and leads to progressive muscle degeneration and weakness. Early diagnosis and specialized care are essential for managing this condition effectively. At our medical center in Dubai, we offer comprehensive treatment and support services tailored to children and families affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Gene therapy is a revolutionary approach in modern medicine that aims to treat or prevent diseases by modifying a person’s genes. This cutting-edge treatment is especially promising for genetic disorders like spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), offering hope for patients and families affected by these life-limiting conditions. Our center in Dubai is committed to delivering safe and effective gene therapy options tailored to each patient’s needs.

Complex neurodisability and congenital neurological disorders are conditions that affect the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system, impacting cognitive, motor, and behavioural development in children. These conditions can be present at birth or acquired later in life.

As a paediatric neurologist, I specialize in helping children with neuromuscular disorders that affect their muscles, nerves, and overall movement.

Neonatal neurology is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of neurological conditions in newborns. Prompt recognition and treatment are crucial to minimize damage and promote optimal recovery.

Cerebral palsy is a complex neurological disorder that affects movement, balance, and coordination. It's caused by abnormal brain development or damage to the brain, usually occurring before or during birth. Cerebral palsy can manifest differently in each child, with varying degrees of severity. Early signs may include delayed milestones, such as sitting or walking, or unusual muscle tone.

Pediatric headaches are a common condition affecting up to 75% of children and adolescents. As a parent, it can be distressing to see your child suffer from headaches. The causes of pediatric headaches can vary, but common triggers include tension and stress, migraines, sinus infections, eye strain, dehydration, sleep disorders, trauma or injury, infections, and genetic conditions. Understanding the underlying cause is crucial for effective treatment and management.

Paediatric stroke is a serious medical condition that occurs when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted or reduced, causing brain tissue damage. It can affect children of all ages, from newborns to adolescents. Prompt recognition and treatment are crucial to minimize damage and promote optimal recovery.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are two neurodevelopmental disorders that affect children's behavior, communication, and social interaction. ADHD symptoms include difficulty paying attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity, while ASD affects communication, social interaction, and behavior, leading to challenges in understanding and interacting with others. Early diagnosis and intervention by a pediatric neurologist can significantly impact treatment outcomes, enabling children with ADHD and ASD to lead fulfilling lives. If you have concerns about your child's behavior or development, consult with a pediatric neurologist for guidance and support.
