Pediatric Neurology with Dr. Justin Rosati, MD

Dr. Carole Keim welcomes pediatric neurologist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology at the University of Rochester, Dr. Justin Rosati, MD, to the show to talk about pediatric neurology. They explore what he sees in children as a pediatric neurologist and what parents can look for. Dr. Keim and Dr. Rosati discuss febrile seizures, developmental delays, epilepsy, infantile spasms, and anything neurological that can affect babies and toddlers.

Dr. Rosati says that children not meeting a developmental milestone is often why parents bring them in to see him. He works to answer the question of why the child misses or is behind on the milestone and explains what it is that he looks for to see if further testing is needed. He tells Dr. Keim what red flags parents can look out for in terms of neurological conditions. He and Dr. Keim discuss febrile seizures and genetic epilepsy syndromes, as well as when seizure medications might be useful. Dr. Rosati breaks down childhood migraines, how parents can help and identify them, and exactly what neurological disorders entail. It’s a wealth of information for parents wanting to know what red flags to keep in mind.
