About the department
The Department of Pediatric Neurology and Epileptology at the Charite University Hospital Berlin offers all modern diagnostic capabilities and effective methods of conservative therapy for young patients with diseases of the nervous system. Children aged 0 to 18 can receive treatment here. The department has special expertise in the treatment of neuromuscular diseases and spina bifida. The medical facility also provides effective therapy for epilepsy, developmental disorders, movement disorders, phakomatoses, chronic headaches, and traumatic brain injuries. The department practices an interdisciplinary approach to treatment, involving neurologists, neurosurgeons, orthopedists, pediatricians, psychologists, physiotherapists, speech therapists, and occupational therapists in the therapeutic process. The department is part of the Berlin Neuromuscular Disease Center, whose successful clinical practice is certified according to the standards of the German Society for the Treatment of Muscle Diseases (DGM). The department also maintains close cooperation with the Working Group of the Association of Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus (ASBH), which allows it to provide high-quality care using the latest techniques for children with these conditions. The medical facility has a reliable quality control system, which has earned the department a high reputation among pediatric neurology clinics in the German healthcare system. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Angela Kaindl.
One of the primary areas of specialization in the department is the treatment of neuromuscular diseases – the medical facility is certified as a specialized center by the German Society for the Treatment of Muscle Diseases (DGM). Neurologists provide comprehensive medical care for children with spinal muscular atrophy, congenital and acquired neuropathies, myasthenia gravis, including congenital myasthenic syndromes, muscular dystrophy, myotonic dystrophy, inflammatory and metabolic myopathies. This group of diseases causes muscle hypotonia, muscle weakness, delayed motor development, increased levels of creatine kinase in the blood, muscle pain, and sensory disturbances. Complete recovery from these conditions is impossible, so therapy aims to control the course of the disease, alleviate symptoms, and slow its progression. The department's specialists pay special attention to providing each patient with comprehensive medical care – only such an approach can ensure a high quality of life for the child.
The team of pediatric neurologists in the department has a special clinical interest in the treatment of epilepsy – one of the most common neurological disorders in childhood. Young patients with suspected epilepsy are seen in a specialized outpatient clinic, whose work has been recognized with a quality certificate from the German Society for Epileptology (DGfE). Diagnostic rooms for classical EEG, sleep-deprived electroencephalography, and 24-hour video-EEG monitoring are available here. The medical facility cooperates with the Department of Neuroradiology at the Charite University Hospital Berlin, so diagnostic imaging using MRI, CT, PET, or SPECT can also be performed if necessary. If the diagnosis is confirmed, specialists develop an individual treatment plan based on antiepileptic medications. In many cases, a ketogenic diet – a special diet high in fat, moderate in protein, and minimal in carbohydrates – has a positive effect on the child's condition. The department's specialists also counsel young patients on vagus nerve stimulation and surgical treatment of epilepsy. Over years of clinical practice, a unique algorithm has been developed here for providing effective care to children with particularly complex and pharmacoresistant forms of epilepsy.
The department's specialists also provide a full range of services for children with movement disorders, paying special attention to the treatment of juvenile parkinsonism, chorea, dystonia, myoclonus, tremor, tic disorders, spasticity, and ataxia. The examination includes electroencephalography, electromyography, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and muscle biopsy. Based on comprehensive diagnostic data, an individual treatment course is developed for the child. The attending physician presents the therapy plan with detailed explanations during a personal consultation. Depending on the specific case, the child may receive symptomatic treatment, a special diet, botulinum therapy, physiotherapy, gene therapy, and interventional procedures – for example, deep brain stimulation.
