Three physicians were presented with the Alan R. Cohen Master Clinician Award in CHOP’s Department of Pediatrics.

Seizures result from abnormal electrical activity of neurons. There are many types of seizures that generally relate to the locations in the brain in which they occur.

Two new treatments are giving children with spinal muscular atrophy hope. CHOP is on the forefront of delivering care that is changing children’s lives.

In finding cellular origins of a severe childhood disorder causing seizures, intellectual disability and autistic-like symptoms, new research suggests potential therapies.

CHOP researchers use novel tool to mine clinical data and identify causative gene in severe childhood epilepsy.

CHOP researchers report that including parental testing in clinical genetic tests improves diagnosis to help guide treatment for pediatric epilepsy.

“All staring is not necessarily seizure," but in M's case it was. M was diagnosed with CAE; he outgrew it by age 10, but was then diagnosed with PNEE. A CHOP Neurology fellow highlights the case.

Using the case of a 14-year-old girl who presented with a new daily persistent headache (NDPH), we discuss the possible diagnoses and treatment options.

Using the case of a 3-year-old boy, we discuss the diagnosis of acute flaccid myelitis, including testing, management, and CDC reporting.

CHOP scientists joined with researchers worldwide to find genes involved in common forms of epilepsy. The findings may advance future precise treatments to control seizures.
