Pediatric Neurology
Children with neurological disorders often require treatment and management options that are different from adults. Our pediatric neurologists give special care to infants and children under the age of 18.We offer comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and outpatient management of neurologic disorders, which include:
- Epilepsy
- Neuromuscular Disease
- Metabolic Genetic Disorders
- Headaches
- Hydrocephalus
- Developmental Delays
- Behavior and Learning Problems
- Movement Disorders including Spasticity
- A range of other neurologic illnesses
Best of Both Worlds
Young patients seen at the Clinics Neurosciences Center get the best of both worlds. Our board-certified pediatric neurologists coordinate their care, but they also receive treatment from experts in disease-specific programs and centers. This way a child with epilepsy, for instance, will be attended by a pediatric neurologist, but receive diagnostic and treatment support from experts within our Comprehensive Epilepsy Program. Should a patient require surgery, our team of outstanding pediatric Neurosurgeons operates the largest pediatric neurosurgery program in North America. In all cases physicians also work closely with physicians and staff of Primary Children’s Medical Center to ensure that any inpatient care is coordinated.
