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, pseudotumor cerebri, 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.

First Pseudotumor Cerebri Clinic Opens
Nationwide Children’s is the first in the country to provide comprehensive care for children with pseudotumor cerebri, a disorder that causes headaches. If left untreated, pseudotumor cerebri typically causes continued headaches and often leads to permanent visual loss in children. Listen to Neurology Chief E. Steve Roach talk about pseudotumor cerebri on Good Morning America Health.
