LifeBridge Health’s Division of Pediatric Neurology cares for infants, children and teens with conditions that affect the brain, nerves and nervous system.
We treat both common and complex neurologic conditions and welcome families at any stage. Whether you have early concerns, new symptoms or a confirmed diagnosis, our pediatric neurologists, neuropsychologists and trained nurses and therapists work together to guide care.
For patients in Baltimore and nearby Maryland communities, care is provided at Sinai Hospital and our outpatient clinic.
Developmental delays occur when a child reaches motor, speech or learning milestones later than expected. We assess children for possible neurologic causes and connect families with therapy, school-based resources and support services.
Neuromuscular conditions affect the nerves or muscles and can cause weakness, stiffness or trouble with movement. We provide evaluation, follow-up care and coordination with therapy and specialty services.
Movement disorders cause abnormal movements such as tremors, tics or coordination problems. We evaluate these symptoms to find the cause and decide if treatment or monitoring is needed.
Cerebral palsy affects movement, muscle tone and posture and is caused by changes in the developing brain. We provide ongoing neurologic care focused on comfort, function and quality of life as children grow.
Bell’s palsy causes sudden weakness or drooping on one side of the face. Our team confirms the diagnosis, explains what to expect and guides families through recovery and follow-up care.
Some neurologic conditions are caused by changes in genes or how the body uses energy. We evaluate children when a genetic or metabolic cause is suspected and help families understand care options.
Every child’s neurologic needs are different. Across LifeBridge Health, our pediatric neurology teams take a careful approach to evaluation and treatment, partnering with families to determine next steps.
Care begins with a medical history and neurologic exam. This helps us understand how symptoms affect learning, development and daily life. When more information is needed, testing may include:
Whenever possible, we offer testing options designed to be quicker and more comfortable for children.

Domestic violence or intimate partner violence is a pattern of controlling, coercive behavior used by one partner to maintain power and control over another partner in an intimate relationship. Abuse also comes in many forms including emotional, physical, sexual, financial and medical abuse.
According to the CDC, one in four women and one and ten men have experienced contact sexual and physical violence and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime. While domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women, it can happen to anyone of any race, age, sexual orientation, religion, gender or socioeconomic status.
