Pediatric Neurological Emergencies

Expert Care for the Brain & Nervous System

The brain is a child’s most vital organ, and neurological emergencies — fits, loss of consciousness, stroke — can develop very quickly. Early, expert intervention is critical to preventing long-term disability. Dr. Rajesh Shah has extensive experience in managing a wide range of pediatric neurological emergencies in the PICU, working alongside pediatric neurologists to ensure your child receives the most up-to-date, evidence-based care.

3

Conditions We Treat

Seizures and Status Epilepticus

Prolonged or repeated seizures that require emergency medications and ICU management to stop

Encephalopathy

Brain dysfunction from many causes including infections, metabolic disturbances, or organ failure

Acute Encephalitis

Brain inflammation, usually caused by viruses, requiring intensive care and antiviral therapy

Head Trauma

Management of traumatic brain injuries, often in coordination with neurosurgery

Pediatric Stroke

Yes, children can have strokes. Early recognition and treatment are essential to minimise brain damage

Coma

Children in a reduced state of consciousness are cared for with continuous monitoring of brain function

Paralysis and Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)

A condition where the immune system attacks the nerves, causing progressive weakness that may require ventilator support

Post-Neurosurgery Care

Intensive monitoring after brain and spinal surgeries

Our Approach

Neurological emergencies in children require calm, rapid, and coordinated action. Our PICU
is equipped with continuous EEG monitoring capabilities, neuromonitoring, and a close
working relationship with pediatric neurology and neurosurgery teams. We also work with
rehabilitation specialists early to maximise your child’s recovery.
