Division of Neurology :
The Division of Neurology is part of the Neurosciences Service Line (the Neurological Institute) which has been highlighted as a key service line by the hospital.
The Division of Neurology is currently undergoing rapid expansion with the development of comprehensive clinical general and sub-specialty child neurology programs as well as enhancement of its research portfolio.
A brand new integrated clinic space for the Divisions of Neurology and Neurosurgery opened in the Spring of 2021. The goal of the Neurologic Institute is to offer comprehensive and integrated neurologic services in a patient-centered environment.
Comprehensive Epilepsy Center :
Our group has considerable clinical and neurophysiologic resources. We have four pediatric board-certified epileptologists with a busy epilepsy surgery program offering ECoG-guided resections, phase II studies with implanted grids / strips and depths, stereo-EEG, EEG source localization, and minimally invasive laser ablation.
We have a large VNS program and are initiating pediatric RNS. We follow over 150 children on either ketogenic diet or modified Atkins diet with the help of two full-time dietitians.
We have a robust pediatric epilepsy anticonvulsant clinical trial program and currently participate in over 10 national clinical trial studies.
CHLA has an active outpatient EEG lab, a dedicated 6-bed pediatric EMU, wired video EEG playroom, and neuro-critical care EEG monitoring service.
Our Comprehensive Epilepsy Program includes a spectrum of multi-disciplinary Epilepsy Surgery, Ketogenic Diet Therapy, Epilepsy Genetics, and New Onset Seizure Clinics.
Our epilepsy program is supported by one physician assistant and three nurse practitioners. The CHLA Center for Personalized Medicine has a strong relationship with our epilepsy team and all testing for epilepsy genetic syndromes can be performed in-house with support from affiliated genetic counselors.
In addition, the Division of Neurology has an ACGME-approved pediatric epilepsy fellowship program which accepts two fellows annually in addition to the ACGME-approved child neurology residency program which operates in collaboration with the KSOM LAC + USC / University Hospital.
CHLA is a busy urban teaching hospital with a diverse patient population. There is a very active outpatient neurology clinic with subspecialty programs in neuromuscular disorders (MDA), epilepsy (including epilepsy surgery, VNS, and ketogenic diet), movement disorders (including deep brain stimulation and baclofen pump), neuro-intensive care, pediatric stroke, neurocutaneous disorders, and demyelinating disorders.
Our faculty currently provides outpatient clinical services to CHLA and five satellite clinic locations within the greater Los Angeles area.
The division has an ACGME-approved child neurology residency program which operates in collaboration with the KSOM LAC + USC / University Hospital.
Our division accepts three child neurology residents per year who divide their time between the two sites. Furthermore, there is ongoing clinical research within our general child neurology and subspecialty programs.
