Cleveland Clinic Pediatric Neurology specialists diagnose neuromuscular diseases, including muscular dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy, congenital myopathies and myasthenia gravis, hereditary neuropathies and other polyneuropathies, using advanced techniques including specialized DNA tests, pediatric EMG and neuropathological examination of nerve and muscle biopsies. Affected children have access to the latest therapies including drug trials, plasmapheresis and immunoglobulin infusion when indicated. The Pediatric Neurology team collaborates with other pediatric specialists in orthopedics, cardiology, pulmonology, and sleep medicine to provide multidisciplinary care for children with these disorders. We also provide heart transplantation for appropriate candidates.
