Pediatric Neurology at Providence Children's Hospital

Working in tandem, the brain and central nervous system control every thought and movement your child has, and there are a variety of conditions, along with injury that can disrupt that functionality.

• Epilepsy and other seizure disorders
• Tics and other movement disorders
• Neonatal neurology problems (neonatal seizures, perinatal asphyxia)
• Neurometabolic and neurogenetic diseases
• Migraine and other chronic headaches
• Spasticity in conditions, such as cerebral palsy
• Muscular dystrophy, neuropathies and other neuromuscular disorders
