The Child with a Neurological or Haematological Problem

Module code: ICM7217

Credits: 15.0
Semester: YEAR

Contact: Dr Danielle Hall

Although less common, neurological and haematological presentations in children can present a diagnostic and managerial challenge in the ED. In the first part of this module students will cover common neurological presentations including headache, seizures, ataxia, neuromuscular disorders, and stroke. In the second part the focus will be on haematological presentations including neutropenia, ITP, pancytopenia, and tumour lysis syndrome.
Please note, this module does not seek to provide students with clinical training in paediatric emergency medicine, but rather to provide an understanding of specific issues relevant to neonatal and adolescent presentations.
