Get to know Anne E. Anderson, MD
Comprehensive care of patient’s with epilepsy and neurodevelopmental disorders. Clinical interests are focused on characterization of seizure types and epilepsy in children to optimize the therapeutic strategies. Therapies for our patients with epilepsy include pharmacological, nutritional (ketogenic diet), neurostimulation, and surgical. The goal is to obtain better seizure control or a cure for epilepsy with these therapies. In parallel we emphasize understanding the comorbidities that are associated with epilepsy such as cognitive deficits, psychiatric problems, and others and how to better treat or prevent these problems that are commonly associated with epilepsy.
Clinical Interests
Working with the epilepsy neurosurgeons for seizure and functional mapping and then surgical treatment of epilepsy, Characterization of the type of epilepsy, Identifying and treating associated comorbidities associated with epilepsy, Super-refractory status epilepticus/FIRES – acute and chronic treatment of this disorder, Angelman Syndrome – understanding epilepsy and cognitive disorders in these patients.
