    Murtuza K. Kothawala, MD, is a board-certified pediatric neurologist with the Orlando Health Children's Neuroscience Institute. He specializes in the treatment and management of neurological, behavioral and developmental disorders in children. He also has a special interest in pediatric epilepsy and headaches. Caring for Children with Epilepsy Epilepsy is a complex and often frightening disorder. Dr. Kothawala is dedicated to caring for children with epilepsy with the goal of eliminating seizures and side effects from treatment and helping his patients achieve the best possible daily function Since epileptic seizures result from abnormal electrical activity in the brain, Dr. Kothawala finds electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction velocity (NCV) an effective way to confirm the location of seizures in the brain in order to determine the best targeted treatment for each patient. What is EMG? Electromyography, known as EMG, is used to detect abnormalities in the brain by measuring its electrical activity. EMG helps identify areas of the brain that emit too many electric signals. Normal areas produce electrical signals that are a certain size, shape and sound, while damaged areas produce different signals. By analyzing these abnormal electrical signals, Dr. Kothawala is able to identify the specific site, nature and extent of damage. Understanding NCV Nerve conduction velocity, or NCV, measures how quickly electrical impulses travel. Certain neurological conditions cause electrical signals to be transmitted more slowly than normal. This test helps Dr. Kothawala determine the site, nature and extent of any damage. NCV is usually performed along with an EMG. Dr. Kothawala's Training Dr. Kothawala earned his medical and master's degree in pediatrics from the Government Medical College and Hospital in Nagpur, India. After graduation, he practiced pediatric medicine at one of the area's largest hospitals for 11 years and became interested in neurological disorders. Since arriving in the United States, he has completed a residency in pediatrics at Cooper Hospital in Camden, New Jersey, his fellowship in pediatric neurology at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, and also passed the Epilepsy Board examination. About Dr. Kothawala After finishing his fellowship, Dr. Kothawala was affiliated with major children's hospitals for 15 years while in private practice. He has extensive experience treating neurological disorders in premature babies and newborns in the neonatal ICU and children with acute and severe neurological disorders in pediatric intensive care. Dr. Kothawala is board certified in pediatrics, pediatric neurology and psychiatry with special qualifications in pediatric neurology and pediatric epilepsy. He is fluent in English, Hindi, Urdu, Gujrati and Marathi. He resides in Orlando with his family and enjoys outdoor activities such as hiking, canoeing and bicycling, plus reading historical fiction. Dr. Kothawala is highly rated in 1 condition, according to our data. His clinical expertise encompasses Seizures, Aphantasia, Partial Seizure, and Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizure.

    What is a neurologist?         

    A neurologist is a doctor who diagnoses and treats problems with the nervous system. The nervous system is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, which send messages between the brain and the rest of the body. A neurologist helps with conditions that affect how the body moves, feels, and thinks. For example, if someone has a lot of migraines, memory problems, or trouble with fine motor skills, a neurologist will run tests to figure out what’s causing those issues, then work with the patient on a treatment plan. 

    What conditions are commonly treated by neurologists?     

    Neurologists treat many conditions affecting the nervous system. Some of the most common examples include:  

    • Migraines, which are intense headaches that come with other symptoms like nausea and sensitivity to light and sound 
    • Epilepsy, which causes reoccurring seizures, which are sudden bursts of electrical activity in the brain 
    • Strokes, which happen when blood supply to the brain is interrupted, causing brain damage that can lead to problems with speech or movement 
    • Parkinson’s disease, which impairs movement, causing symptoms like tremors, stiffness, and trouble with balance and coordination 
    • Alzheimer’s disease, which affects memory and cognition, leading to problems with thinking, remembering, and making decisions 
    • Multiple sclerosis, a muscle disorder in which the immune system attacks the nervous system, causing muscle weakness and balance issues 
    • Obstructive sleep apnea, a sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, leading to poor sleep quality and other health problems 

    What tests are performed by a neurologist?  

    Neurologists use several tests to diagnose and monitor neurological conditions. They might use imaging tests like MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and CT (Computed Tomography) scans to take pictures of the brain and spinal cord. An EEG (Electroencephalogram) measures electrical activity in the brain to check for problems like epilepsy. Neurologists may also conduct a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) to look for signs of infection or disease. Blood tests and cognitive evaluations, like memory tests, may also be used to gather more information. 

    What neurological symptoms shouldn’t be ignored?   

    According to Yale Medicine, doctors usually start with blood tests to check for unusual cells or changes in

    Some neurological symptoms can be signs of serious conditions and should not be ignored. These include: 

    • Sudden, severe headaches that feel different from what you’ve had before 
    • Unexplained weakness or numbness in your arms or legs 
    • Changes in how you see, speak, or move around 
    • Trouble remembering or making decisions 

    It’s important to seek medical care as soon as possible if you experience these symptoms because they could be signs of something more serious such as a stroke, brain injury, or neurological disease.  

    What causes neurological disorders? 

    Different neurological conditions can have different causes, like genetic problems, infections, injuries, or exposure to things in the environment. Some disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease, are linked to aging and the slow breakdown of brain cells. Others, like multiple sclerosis, happen when the immune system attacks the body’s own nerve cells by mistake. Traumatic injuries, like concussions, can also cause neurological problems. In some cases, the exact cause of a neurological disorder is unknown. For example, with Parkinson’s disease, doctors don’t know why some people develop it while others don’t, despite ongoing research.
