Promoting the Human Rights of Children With Neurologic Conditions.

Abstract:

:Children with neurologic conditions benefit from international conventions, and national treaties, policies and regulations that safeguard their human rights. These regulations also exist to serve as guidance in the creation of comprehensive systems of care, inclusive environments, accessible societies and communities that allow these children to thrive and to achieve the best of their capacities. This narrative review of issues related to human rights and advocacy in pediatric neurologic disabilities will provide an overview of the human rights conventions that relate to children with disabilities, and the most current approaches implicating health care providers in rights promotion for these individuals and their families. We also suggest venues for professionals to advocate for their patients, and suggest strategies to consider rights-based approaches as a mean to provide holistic care in a social neurology framework.

  • Sudden unexpected death in people with epilepsy: a pediatric perspective.

    abstract::The possibility of sudden unexpected death in people with epilepsy (SUDEP) is very frightening for parents of a child with epilepsy. The mechanism for SUDEP is unclear but is probably most commonly related to postictal respiratory insufficiency. Occasionally the cause is a cardiac arrhythmia induced by a seizure. Even...
