Quick answers for parents
Didn’t find your answer? Contact the clinic team and we’ll help.
Contact usWhen should my child see a pediatric neurologist?
When there are unexplained seizures or spells, delayed walking or speech, loss of skills your child already had, low muscle tone, or abnormal newborn-screening or genetic results.
What should I bring to the first visit?
Bring MRI reports and discs, EEG reports, previous metabolic and genetic tests, the current medication list with doses, and short videos of any seizures or unusual movements.
Does Dr. Walaa offer online consultations for families abroad?
Yes. Remote video consultations are available for families living outside Egypt, including genetic (WES) report review, with a coordinated Cairo visit when needed.
What is whole exome sequencing (WES) and when is it needed?
It is a genetic test that reads the protein-coding parts of the genes. It is usually requested for developmental regression, drug-resistant seizures or a suspected rare genetic condition after clinical assessment.
