Second Opinion

Second opinions at the CCM Clinical Center are handled similarly to first appointments. Please call the central contact number above to speak with the nurse coordinator to discuss sending images and clinical records and setting up an appointment.

Research

Dr. Sandi Lam has received a grant through PCORI to study the burden of seizure of families with children diagnosed with Lennox-Gastaux syndrome, a disorder that causes severe epilepsy. While this is not directly related to CCM, the information gleaned about the burden of care may be useful in clinical decision-making more generally. The program also has an IRB-approved pediatric neurovascular registry and database.

Other

As of this writing, Lurie will be adding a pediatric neuropsychologist and a patient coordinator to their CCM Clinical Center team. They are currently interviewing candidates.
