Washington University has the only surgical program for movement disorders in Missouri, a level 4 certified epilepsy center of excellence, a center specialized in the treatment of Moyamoya disease, and oversees one of the largest brain tumor clinical trial programs in the U.S. Neurosurgical procedures are performed in 6 dedicated operating rooms, two of which are equipped with intraoperative MRI. In addition, a state-of-the art interventional radiology suite has just been completed.
