The Southern California Cranial Nerve Disorders Program at UCSD is a neurosurgery clinic specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders involving the cranial nerves. This web-site provides informative and interactive pages about cranial nerve disorders and their treatment options.
Although all of the nerves coming from the brain in the head are related, the various problems that they can present vary widely, and include:
Experience. Expertise. Education.
Your visit begins with an evaluation with our surgeons. Dr. John F. Alksne and Dr. Jeffrey P. Harris will answer your questions and guide you through the treatment process.
