Our program
Neurology: There is a need to develop adolescent and transition programs with the increased survival of children with neuromuscular and metabolic diseases. These same issues may affect older adolescents with epilepsy or individuals who had successful treatment for childhood brain tumours.
Neurosurgery: The goals are to enhance the epilepsy surgery and vagal nerve stimulation programs.
Spinal Cord Clinic/Program: The goals are to continue to care for patients with meningomyelocele, lipomeningomyelocele, other neural tube defects, and spinal cord injuries from BC and the Yukon. We currently see 350 families on a regular basis. We offer a multidisciplinary approach for prenatal consultations, patients, and families in the program.
Neurosurgery is the major referral centre for pediatric neurosurgical conditions in BC and one of the foremost pediatric neurosurgical units in Canada. It performs approximately 300 neurosurgical operations yearly for brain and spinal tumours, cerebral palsy, Chiari malformations, craniosynostosis, epilepsy head injuries, hydrocephalus, intrauterine fetal counseling, motor disorders/spasticity program, moyamoya disease, syringomyelia, spina bifida and trauma.
Outreach clinics in Kelowna, Nelson, Prince George and Trail provide services to more than 200 patient visits yearly. The Neurology Program offers regional clinics in pediatric neurology in Kelowna, Prince George, Terrace, Trail, Nelson and Surrey.
