Neurology

The Neurology Division at Nationwide Children's Hospital provides subspecialty evaluations and care for children through age 21 who have conditions affecting the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord), nerves and muscles.

Members of the Division have subspecialty training in areas such as epilepsy, sleep medicine, neuromuscular disorders, stroke, headache, neurodevelopmental disabilities and more. This allows us to offer comprehensive, family-centered care. Division members participate in clinical and basic-science research programs, and our faculty have prominent roles in local, national, and international organizations. For these reasons, The Division of Child Neurology at Nationwide Children’s Hospital is recognized as a leader in pediatric neurological disorders.
