- Neurocutaneous Syndromes:
- Neurofibromatosis: Genetic disorders causing tumors to grow on nerves.
- Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC): A condition characterized by non-cancerous tumors in multiple organs, including the brain.
- Movement Disorders:
- Tics and Tourette Syndrome: Involuntary movements or vocalizations.
- Dystonia: Abnormal muscle contractions causing repetitive movements or abnormal postures.
- Neuroinflammatory Disorders:
- Multiple Sclerosis (MS): Though more common in adults, MS can affect children and involves immune system attacks on the nervous system.
- Autoimmune Encephalitis: Inflammation of the brain caused by an autoimmune response.
