Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To provide pediatricians with updated information about the neurological problems that most frequently affect adolescents, allowing doctors to diagnose, investigate and treat migraine headaches and seizures, and other conditions.

RESULTS: Neurological conditions account for an increased frequency of medical appointments among adolescents. A significant number of these patients have seizures, and behavioral and learning disorders. CONCLUSIONS: Most cases can be assessed by non-specialists. This articles aims at supplying pediatricians with tools that will help them diagnose and treat a great number of the situations.
