Pediatric Neurosurgery
Pediatric neurosurgery is one of the Neurosurgical subspecialties that specializes in diagnosis, treatment and management of children with various neurosurgical disorders. It consists of a team of medical professionals like Pediatric neurosurgeon, Pediatric neurologist, Pediatric anesthetist, Pediatric intensivist and the pediatric nursing staff to provide comprehensive care to children suffering from disorders of brain, spine, and Peripheral nervous system.
Pediatric Conditions that we treat include:
- Brain and spinal cord injury
- Brain and Spinal cord tumors
- Hydrocephalus
- Intractable epilepsy
- Gait abnormalities (spasticity)
- Head and face deformities
- Craniofacial syndromes
- Craniosynostosis
- Spinal deformities
- Arachnoid cysts
- Spina bifida and myelomeningocele
- Chiari Malformation
- Tethered spinal cord
- Brachial plexus plexus injury
