Welcome from the Editors<br />
cleveland clinic’s pediatric neuroscience program includes a wide<br />
range of doctors in many specialties. integration of these teams<br />
in both the Neurological institute and children’s hospital offers<br />
seamless collaboration between adult and pediatric specialists in<br />
every discipline. Thanks to this integration, pediatric neuroscience<br />
physicians offer cutting-edge treatments for the widest imaginable<br />
spectrum of neurological disorders.<br />
welcome from the editors<br />
The reader will find several examples of this integration in these<br />
pages. For example, children with severe dystonia may receive<br />
relief through deep brain stimulation at cleveland clinic because the<br />
pediatric movement disorders team is integrated with a celebrated<br />
team of adult specialists in neurological restoration. Similarly,<br />
children with difficult-to-localize epilepsy may benefit from surgery<br />
planned with stereotactic-depth EEG because the pediatric epilepsy<br />
team works closely with prominent adult and pediatric neurosurgeons<br />
who have extensive experience with this technique. In addition,<br />
cleveland clinic’s pediatric neuroscience program has the honor and distinction<br />
of being ranked among the top three pediatric neurology and neurosurgery<br />
programs in the united states by U.S. News & World Report for <strong>2012</strong>-2013.<br />
The elements of this success are the world-renowned teams of physicians,<br />
scientists, nurses, therapists, technologists and other caregivers who collaborate<br />
to provide multidisciplinary care to children with neurological disorders.<br />
treatment of pediatric hydrocephalus is enhanced by the clinical and<br />
experimental study of its progression and consequences in adults.<br />
these synergistic collaborations provide opportunities for unparalleled<br />
innovations in pediatric clinical care, education and research.<br />
cleveland clinic’s premise is “Patients First.” whether the<br />
activity is providing today’s newest, most innovative treatments<br />
