Additionally, there are several subspecialty clinics within the Pediatric Neurology Institute. These include:

The Pediatric Epilepsy Service

This service is focused on the diagnosis and treatment of seizure disorders in children. Many treatments are available, including drug monitoring, ketogenic diet treatment, new drug therapies, and anti-epileptic surgery in concert with the Pediatric Neurosurgery Department.

The Rett Syndrome Center

Rett Syndrome is caused by a rare genetic mutation affecting the brain’s gray matter. The Rett Syndrome Center serves to educate parents, patients, and the general public about this syndrome. It also provides services, diagnosis, and treatment to pediatric patients with Rett Syndrome, combining knowledge and specialists from neurology, pediatrics, gastroenterology, endocrinology and orthopedics.

Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD) Clinic

Sheba’s PDD clinic provides services to children with autism spectrum disorders, speech, language, and social difficulties, and other developmental delays. These services include exacting diagnosis of the complex problems that can be easily confused with other genetic disorders.
