Expert Neurosurgical Care for Children, From Infancy to Adolescence
Pediatric neurosurgery is a delicate and highly specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and surgical management of neurological disorders affecting the brain, spine, and peripheral nerves in children. Because a child’s nervous system is constantly developing, pediatric neurosurgery requires a different approach than adult neurosurgery — one that combines medical excellence with compassion, patience, and an understanding of each child’s unique needs.
Our team of experienced pediatric neurosurgeons is skilled in treating a wide range of conditions, including but not limited to:
Hydrocephalus - Excess fluid in the brain that requires surgical intervention, often through shunt placement or endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV).
Brain and Spinal Cord Tumors - Diagnosis and surgical removal of benign and malignant tumors, in collaboration with pediatric oncology teams.
Craniosynostosis - A condition where one or more of the skull sutures close too early, requiring corrective surgery to allow normal brain growth.
Spina Bifida and Myelomeningocele - Congenital defects of the spine that often require surgical repair shortly after birth.
Chiari Malformation - A structural defect in the cerebellum that may cause headaches, balance issues, and other neurological symptoms.
Epilepsy and Seizure Disorders - Surgical options for children whose seizures are not controlled with medication.
Vascular Malformations - Abnormalities in blood vessels of the brain and spine that may require microsurgical or endovascular treatment.
Traumatic Brain and Spinal Injuries - Emergency neurosurgical care for injuries resulting from accidents or falls.
We believe that treating a child’s neurological condition means supporting the whole family through every step of the journey. Our care philosophy is centered around:
Multidisciplinary Collaboration : Pediatric neurosurgeons work closely with pediatric neurologists, neuroradiologists, anesthesiologists, intensive care specialists, physical and occupational therapists, and child psychologists to provide well-rounded, comprehensive care.
Advanced Imaging and Surgical Technology : With the latest in MRI, CT, and intraoperative navigation tools, we ensure the highest degree of precision and safety during surgery.
Minimally Invasive Options : Whenever possible, we use minimally invasive techniques to reduce surgical risks, minimize pain, and speed up recovery times.
Child-Centered Environment : Our facilities are designed to ease anxiety and make young patients feel safe, with child-friendly surroundings and staff trained in pediatric support.
