The Blue Bird Circle Clinic for Pediatric Neurology at Texas Children's Hospital is one of the largest neurology service centers in the United States, specializing in the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up care of neurological disorders in children. With over 20,000 patient encounters each year, the large team of specialists cares for patients with more than 450 neurological disorders including epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, developmental delay, sleep disorders, stroke, cortical malformations, and brain tumors. The Clinic also diagnoses and treats such rare disorders as Rett syndrome, Angelman syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, Batten disease, and Prader-Willi syndrome. Satellite neurology clinics are located in Clear Lake, Sugar Land, the Woodlands, and TCH West Campus.
The Blue Bird Circle Developmental Neurogenetics Laboratory at Baylor College of Medicine continues to perform ground-breaking research into the causes and treatments of neurological disorders in both children and adults including seizures, stroke, brain trauma and other neurodegenerative disorders.
The Blue Bird Circle Rett Center at Baylor College of Medicine is one of the few centers in the world that specializes in the diagnosis and care of patients with Rett Syndrome, a neuro-developmental disorder that develops almost exclusively in females. The syndrome causes chronic neurological problems that include severe communication and motor disabilities. There is no known cure for the disorder, but the Center offers a multi-disciplinary approach focused on care, education, and research that will improve the quality of life for patients and their families.
