Pediatric Stroke and Cerebrovascular Disease

Specialized assessment and treatment are essential in managing pediatric stroke and cerebrovascular disorders. For these services, physicians nationwide can turn to UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals’ Pediatric Brain Center.

UCSF is home to a team with a rare depth of expertise in this field: children are evaluated by neurologists who are board-certified in both pediatric neurology and pediatric vascular neurology, and receive care from a team of pediatric neurosurgeons, vascular neurosurgeons, neurointerventional radiologists, intensivists, hematologists and other subspecialists.

Whether your patient needs emergent neurocritical care or post-stroke assessment to prevent recurrence and support their return to school, our team will work to provide them with expert, coordinated care.
