Pediatric Epilepsy Center

U.S News Neurology Badge

Epilepsy is a common neurologic disorder that often begins in childhood. Two or more unprovoked seizures is the definition of epilepsy. Treating pediatric seizures is one component of caring for children with epilepsy. Epilepsy is often accompanied by higher rates of learning differences, attentional issues and behavior problems that also require treatment.

The Pediatric Epilepsy Center at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford focuses on identifying the epilepsy cause, treating seizures with leading-edge medical and surgical techniques, like the ROSA™ robot, to provide the very best in childhood epilepsy care.

Stanford Medicine Children's Health is accredited by the National Association of Epilepsy Centers as a level 4 epilepsy center.
