Meet Dr. Erika Horta, Neuro-Oncologist at OU Health Neurosurgery 🌟

Born and raised in Brazil, Dr. Horta was inspired to pursue medicine after seeing firsthand the power of treatment to change lives. She followed that passion around the world—earning her medical degree and completing her first residency and fellowship at the University of São Paulo, then continuing advanced training in Neurology, Neuro-Immunology, and Neuro-Oncology at the University of Minnesota, Mayo Clinic, and Henry Ford Hospital. 🌎

At OU Neurosurgery, Dr. Horta specializes in treating brain and spinal cord tumors, neurofibromatosis, schwannomatosis, tuberous sclerosis, and VHL. She doesn’t perform surgery, instead, she focuses on using medications and emerging therapies to help patients live fuller, healthier lives.

She chose OU for its state-of-the-art facilities and the genuine teamwork among colleagues who “have good work ethics and want to do the best for everyone.” Outside of work, she’s ambidextrous, loves the movie Airplane!, and calls Oklahoma City “a city full of opportunities.”

“Come to OU for the best experience. This is a team that will do the best.” ❤️

Even a small fall or hit to the head can sometimes cause a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in kids. The signs aren’t always obvious, here's what we suggest that you keep an eye out for:

✅ Headache or dizziness
✅ Trouble concentrating or acting “off”
✅ Extra tiredness or changes in sleep
✅ Unusual mood swings or irritability

If your child loses consciousness, vomits repeatedly, or seems confused, seek care immediately.

When it comes to head injuries, it’s always best to get checked by a specialist.
