Pediatric Neurology

Expert Brain and Nervous System Care

Nemours Children's neurologists treat disorders involving the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles, including brain injuries and tumors.

We see kids from all over the world, with nearly every childhood neurological condition or brain injury. We see many children with:

  • epilepsy (seizure disorder)
  • cerebral palsy 
  • neuromuscular disorders 

We also diagnose and help kids with problems like migraines, nerve pain, muscle weakness and sleep disorders. We can even diagnose babies in the womb and create a care plan before birth.

Nemours neurology is a hub of research activity, with access to the latest clinical trials. We’re always looking for improved ways to give kids the best possible care.

One of the Nation’s Best for Children’s Neurology Care

We are a leader in neurology care for kids, pioneering new treatments and ways to diagnose.

  • We have innovated how to pinpoint seizures. We were the first pediatric hospital to focus positron emission tomography with magnetic resonance, or PET/MR, on brain disorders. This has allowed us to pinpoint the cause of a child’s seizure activity, a big step in helping a child become seizure-free.
  • We’re researching new treatments for neurological conditions. We are investigating advanced techniques, medicines and therapies, particularly for children with epilepsy, autism and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
