Neurology
Services
The Division of Pediatric Neurology provides care for children with challenging and complex neurological conditions.
Our clinics:
- Epilepsy or convulsive disorders
- Neurodevelopmental disorders (* we do not accept referrals for isolated autism, developmental language impairment, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or learning disability)
- Neuromuscular disorders
- Headaches (* we only accept referrals for patients who have disabling migraines despite trials of at least one prophylactic agent)
- Movement disorders (* we do not accept referrals for patients with tics or Tourette syndrome unless the tics are sufficiently disabling to require medication)
- Neurogenetic and neurometabolic disorders
- Neurocutaneous disorders
- Stroke
- Neuroinflammatory disorders (e.g., multiple sclerosis)
- Brain and spinal cord tumours
- High-risk survivors of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU)
- We do not see febrile seizures, breath-holding spells, or behavioural disorders
- For children with suspected seizures, an EEG before or at the time of referral expedites appropriate triaging, assessment and accurate diagnosis
The Neurophysiology Lab
The Neurophysiology Laboratory offers testing and monitoring of patients with possible seizures, altered consciousness and neuromuscular diseases. The lab performs a variety of tests, including EEG, evoked potentials, and electromyography and nerve conduction studies.
