Our specialized multidisciplinary team of neurosurgeons and neurologists offer innovative procedures to treat a wide range of neurological conditions, including epilepsy, tumors and Chiari malformation.
- Arachnoid Cysts
- Arachnoid cysts are fluid-filled sacs located between the brain or spinal cord and the arachnoid membrane, one of the protective layers of the central nervous system.
- Arteriovenous Malformations
- Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are abnormal tangles of blood vessels connecting arteries and veins in the brain or spinal cord.
- Autism with Seizures
- Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that can sometimes co-occur with seizures or epilepsy.
- Brain Tumors
- Brain tumors are abnormal growths of cells within the brain that can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
- Cavernomas / AVMs
- Cavernomas are clusters of abnormally dilated blood vessels that resemble a small mulberry-like lesion.
- Chiari Malformation
- Chiari malformation is a structural defect in the skull and cerebellum, the part of the brain that controls balance.
- Congenital Malformations of the Brain and Spine
- Congenital malformations of the brain and spine are structural abnormalities that develop during fetal growth.
- Craniofacial Disorders
- Craniofacial disorders refer to congenital or acquired abnormalities in the structure and formation of the skull and facial bones.
- Doose Syndrome
- Doose syndrome, also known as Myoclonic-Astatic Epilepsy (MAE), is a rare childhood epilepsy syndrome characterized by a variety of seizure types.
- Dravet Syndrome
- Dravet syndrome is a rare, genetic form of epilepsy that typically begins in the first year of life.
- Drop Attacks
- Drop attacks, also known as atonic seizures or “astatic” seizures, involve a sudden loss of muscle tone that causes a child to collapse unexpectedly.
- Encephaloceles
- Encephaloceles are rare neural tube defects in which brain tissue and its protective membranes protrude through an opening in the skull.
- Epileptic Encephalopathies
- Epileptic encephalopathies are a group of severe brain disorders characterized by frequent, often refractory seizures.
- Generalized Epilepsy Syndromes
- Generalized epilepsy syndromes are characterized by seizures that begin and spread throughout both sides of the brain simultaneously.
- Hemiplegic Epilepsy Syndrome
- Hemiplegic epilepsy syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by recurrent seizures and episodic paralysis or significant weakness (hemiplegia) on one side of the body.
- Landau-Kleffner Syndrome
- Landau-Kleffner syndrome (LKS) is a rare childhood neurological disorder characterized by a sudden or gradual loss of language and comprehension abilities, typically after the child has developed normal language skills.
- Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome
- Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is a rare and severe form of epilepsy that typically begins in early childhood, often between the ages of 3 and 5.
- MRI Negative Epilepsy
- MRI negative epilepsy refers to seizure disorders in which standard MRI scans do not reveal any obvious abnormalities in the brain.
- Mesial Temporal Sclerosis
- Mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS) refers to scarring or loss of neurons in the inner (mesial) structures of the temporal lobe, most notably the hippocampus.
- Other Central Nervous System Tumors
- Other central nervous system tumors encompass a range of rare or less common growths that can develop in the brain or spinal cord.
- Pediatric Brain Tumors and Cysts
- Pediatric brain tumors are the most common solid tumors in children and represent a significant portion of childhood cancer diagnoses.
- Pediatric Hydrocephalus
- Pediatric hydrocephalus occurs when an excess of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) accumulates in the brain's ventricles, leading to increased pressure inside the skull.
- Pediatric Movement Disorders
- Pediatric movement disorders encompass a broad range of conditions that affect how a child's muscles move or coordinate.
- Pediatric Spine Disorders and Diseases
- Pediatric spine disorders and diseases encompass a broad range of conditions affecting the vertebrae, spinal cord, or nerves.
- Pediatric Sports-Related Concussions
- A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) typically caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head.
- Post-Stroke Epilepsy
- Post-stroke epilepsy occurs when seizures develop after a stroke, which can be either ischemic (caused by a blood clot) or hemorrhagic (caused by bleeding into or around the brain).
- Post-Traumatic Epilepsy
- Post-traumatic epilepsy is a type of seizure disorder that develops following a traumatic brain injury.
- Rasmussen's Encephalitis
- Rasmussen's encephalitis is a rare, chronic, and progressive neurological disorder that typically affects one hemisphere of the brain.
- Sturge-Weber Syndrome
- Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a rare congenital neurological disorder that is often present at birth and typically affects one side of the brain.
- Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
- Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is one of the most common forms of epilepsy, involving the temporal lobes of the brain.
- Tuberous Sclerosis
- Tuberous sclerosis (TSC) is a rare genetic disorder that causes the growth of benign tumors (called tubers) in various organs, including the brain, heart, kidneys, skin, and lungs.
- Vascular Conditions
- Vascular conditions in the brain are disorders that involve abnormal blood vessels or blood flow, which can lead to neurological symptoms and complications.
- West Syndrome (Infantile Spasms)
- West syndrome, also known as infantile spasms, is a rare but serious form of epilepsy that typically occurs in infants between the ages of 3 and 12 months.
