Neurology

The Division of Neurology at the Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children treats newborns, infants, children, and adolescents with a wide range of neurological conditions including epilepsy, muscular dystrophy and other neuromuscular problems, headaches and other pain syndromes, neurofibromatosis and other neurocutaneous syndromes, neurodegenerative disorders, developmental delays and metabolic disorders.

Evaluative tools include EEG, neurosleep studies, electromyography (EMG) testing and CT and MRI/MRS. Neurology research programs enable our patients to receive the latest treatments that may be unavailable elsewhere.

Nemours neurologists are usually trained in multiple specialties—pediatrics and neurology, for example. Nemours neurologists use an integrated medical record that unifies patient care across specialties and locations, prompting physicians to consider best practices gained from Nemours experience and academic literature. We provide excellent care that places the patient and family at the center, and our commitment to communication is central to the process. We strive to create a uniquely satisfying experience bringing peace of mind to patients and families.

The Division of Neurology holds the only Muscular Dystrophy Association clinic in the state of Delaware to evaluate and treat children with muscular dystrophy and other neuromuscular diseases.

The clinicians have faculty appointments and participate in the training of students, residents and fellows from the Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, PA. The Division has a number of active research protocols.
