Neuropediatrics 

The focus of our Pediatric Neurology Department is the diagnosis and treatment of children with epilepsy, developmental delays, metabolic disorders with neurological involvement, and congenital diseases of the nervous system. We are part of the Hesse Epilepsy Center and work closely with the other clinics and departments at University Hospital Marburg.

Within the scope of inpatient treatment, we offer almost the entire spectrum of neuropediatric diagnostics and treatment:

  • MRI diagnostics, under sedation if needed
  • EEG diagnostics (including EEG after sleep deprivation)
  • Electrophysiology (in cooperation with the Clinic for Neurology)
  • Developmental neurological testing
  • Muscle and nerve biopsies (in cooperation with the Clinics for Pediatric Surgery and Neurosurgery)
  • Metabolic diagnostics
  • Genetic diagnostics (in cooperation with the Institute of Human Genetics)
  • Somatic diagnostics in psychiatric disorders (in cooperation with the Clinic for Pediatric and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychosomatics)
  • Diagnostic and therapeutic lumbar punctures
  • Epilepsy complex treatment
