Core Tip Functional neurological disorder (FND) in children presents unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its diverse symptomatology and the absence of organic pathology. Early diagnosis, often hindered by symptom variability, is crucial for effective intervention. Multidisciplinary management, including cognitive-behavioral therapy and comprehensive care involving neurologists, psychiatrists, and psychologists, has shown promise in improving outcomes. However, there is a need for standardized diagnostic criteria and treatment protocols to better guide clinical practice. This systematic review underscores the importance of timely and coordinated care to enhance the prognosis for pediatric patients with FND.
