Pediatric Neurology evaluates and treats neurological (brain) conditions affecting children up to 18 years of age.
We offer careful, in-depth evaluations of children with a number of conditions. We first emphasize diagnosis, then work with the family and child on management. We pride ourselves on the quality of our care.
The conditions we treat include:
- Autism and Asperger's syndrome
- Brain tumors
- Cerebral palsy
- Developmental delay
- Dopa-responsive dystonia
- Epilepsy
- Headache
- Migraines
- Movement disorders
- Muscular Dystrophy
- Neurodegenerative disorders/leukodystrophy
- Neurometabolic disorders
- Storage diseases
- Tics/Tourette's syndrome
We have strong programs in general clinical pediatric neurology, pediatric neurometabolic and neurodegenerative disorders, and pediatric epilepsy.
