Neuropathology
Neuropathology provides specialized tests and consultative services for diagnosis of various neurologic disorders affecting the central and peripheral nervous system in adult and pediatric patients. This division provides a full range of clinical neuropathology consultation services, including evaluation of brain biopsies, muscle and nerve biopsies, and autopsy brain specimens. The Neuropathology Division includes board-certified neuropathologists who have vast experience and expertise in diagnostic neuropathology, including neuroncology, neuromuscular disease, neurodegenerative disease, and surgical and autopsy neuropathology. This division provides all consultative services, which can be complemented by special stains, immunohistochemistry, molecular analyses, and electron microscopic studies as indicated.
