Encephalitis
Encephalitis is inflammation – swelling and irritation – of the brain. When brain tissues swell, it causes the brain not to work properly and may lead to seizures, confusion, or changes in behavior.
This condition is usually caused by a viral infection, and any kind of infection or inflammation in the brain can lead to permanent brain damage. That is why it is especially important that children are diagnosed and treated quickly. Our team of board-certified pediatric neurologists is dedicated to the comprehensive care of children, adolescents, and families who are affected by encephalitis.
