The Pediatric Team at Arsbiomedica in Roma

Professor Giovanni Di Nardo – Pediatric Gastroenterology and Digestive Endoscopy
The Pediatric Gastroenterology and Endoscopy Unit at Arsbiomedica provides expert care for children presenting with common gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, or blood in the stool.

Our approach begins with a comprehensive medical history—carefully investigating family conditions and precisely detailing the child’s symptoms—followed by a meticulous physical examination.

In most cases, an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan can be determined through this thorough initial evaluation. When further investigation is needed, Arsbiomedica offers a full spectrum of diagnostic tools, including laboratory tests, advanced imaging, and most notably, pediatric digestive endoscopy.

This includes procedures such as gastroscopy, colonoscopy, capsule endoscopy, and cutting-edge techniques to assess the functional physiology of the digestive system, such as esophageal pH-impedance monitoring.

Professor Alessandro Ferretti – Pediatric Neurology
The Pediatric Neurology service is designed to care for children affected by neurological disorders. Diagnosis starts with a detailed clinical history and a comprehensive neurological exam.

Conditions addressed include:

• Primary and secondary headaches

• Medication overuse in acute headache episodes

• Sleep disorders

• Epilepsy and developmental epileptic encephalopathies

• Recurrent febrile seizures

At Arsbiomedica, we are equipped to perform awake and sleep-deprived EEGs, and children can also undergo high-resolution 3 Tesla MRI for in-depth neuroimaging. The service is further supported by neurorehabilitation professionals, such as speech therapists, who contribute to a holistic diagnostic and therapeutic plan for each child.

Why Choose the Pediatric Team at Arsbiomedica?

One of the defining features of pediatric care at Arsbiomedica is our personalized approach—each diagnostic and therapeutic pathway is tailored to the specific symptoms, underlying condition, and developmental profile of the individual child.

While we may refer to broad disease categories like reflux disease, Crohn’s disease, or epilepsy, we recognize that each of these conditions exists in multiple subtypes. Personalization means adapting the care plan not only to the diagnosis but to the child’s age, maturity, and individual characteristics.

Ultimately, the mission of the Arsbiomedica Pediatric Center is not simply to treat an illness—but to treat that illness in that specific child, with the utmost precision and care.
