Prof. Dr. Ariful Islam

Prof. Dr. Ariful Islam is a Professor specializing in Child Neurology and Paediatrics. His listed qualifications include MBBS, FCPS and MD. His areas of practice cover children's general health and conditions affecting the brain, nerves and nervous system. Parents concerned about their child's development, unusual movements, recurring headaches or other neurological symptoms can seek specialist assessment to understand the possible causes and appropriate next steps.

Child neurology deals with a range of conditions, including seizure disorders, developmental delays, movement difficulties and certain problems affecting learning or coordination. Symptoms can differ according to a child's age and stage of development. Parents may notice changes such as delayed speech, loss of previously acquired skills, repeated episodes of staring or unusual movements. Sharing these observations with a doctor can help guide the clinical evaluation.

Assessment may involve reviewing the child's birth and medical history, developmental milestones and family health background. Depending on the symptoms, the doctor may recommend neurological examinations or further tests. Not every developmental difference indicates a neurological disorder, so individual assessment is important. Parents should avoid starting medicines or treatments without medical advice, especially when a child experiences unexplained episodes or changes in behaviour.

Prof. Dr. Ariful Islam consults at Popular Diagnostic Center Ltd, Badda, Dhaka. Parents preparing for an appointment can bring previous prescriptions, investigation reports and notes about the child's symptoms, including when episodes occur and how long they last. Developmental records from school or therapy may also be useful when relevant. A first-time seizure, prolonged convulsions, sudden weakness or reduced consciousness requires urgent medical attention instead of waiting for a routine consultation.
