We are ranked among one of the best children's hospitals in the country for pediatric neurology and neurosurgery, according to U.S. News & World Report. We combine our expertise of diagnosing and treating disorders of the nervous system with an understanding of childhood medical disorders and the special needs of children and their families.
We have the special training and experience to treat your child’s the nervous system problems, working with pediatricians and other primary care doctors as needed. For children with complex or serious medical issues such as epilepsy, their care team may also include behavioral and neuropsychologists, developmental and behavioral pediatricians and pediatric neurosurgeons.
We use a variety of tests and procedures to obtain an accurate diagnosis, such as cerebral angiography, EEG, EMG, nerve conduction velocity testing and transcranial Doppler. We may also use neuropsychological testing to assess cognitive development and function.
We stay up on the latest advances in the treatment of neurologic conditions, such as a ketogenic diet for reducing the number of seizures associated with epilepsy or cognitive behavioral therapy and biofeedback training for managing chronic headaches.

We are conducting this study to understand the history of AHS, a rare genetic disorder that is characterized by seizures, liver dysfunction and progressive developmental regression that leads to early death. Through this study we will determine if there are connections between a patient’s medical history and onset of AHS as well as the relationship between signs and symptoms of presentation of AHS and severity and survival of AHS.
Children born with this disorder will appear heathy at birth and usually develop normally until the onset of their illness. Most patients with AHS will show symptoms of this illness between 2-4 years of age and a smaller group of patients show symptoms for between 17-24 years of age.
