Test
Craniofacial abnormalities - This includes abnormalities of facial or head bones, general present at birth. In such cases, pediatric neurosurgeons have to work with pediatric plastic and craniofacial surgeons for correcting issues that might be affecting the growth and development of your child.
Hydrocephalus - Some kids are born with extra fluid around or inside the brain. This condition is known as hydrocephalus. This extra fluid increases the pressure inside the head of the baby. Neonatal specialists and pediatric neurosurgeons work together can treat this condition. Hydrocephalus can be congenital, occur at birth or develop later. Our pediatric doctors will create a personalized treatment for your child depending on his/her condition.
Trauma - Children who have been in accidents can have spinal cord or acute brain trauma. This also includes chronic neurological disorders caused by major trauma.
Pediatric epilepsy - This includes surgical and medical solutions for diagnosing and treating seizure disorders and other associated syndromes.
Neonatal neurosurgery and neurology - This includes complicated brain disorders in newborns like periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) and intraventricular hemorrhage in babies. These serious disorders occur when there is softening and bleeding in brain tissue. Treatment of this requires expert care by neonatal specialists and pediatric neurosurgeons.
Spasticity management - This is a condition in which the muscles get contracted continuously. This results in tightness and stiffness of the muscles that cause interference with normal speech, movement, and gait. It is usually caused by damage to the part of the spinal cord or brain controlling the voluntary movement. Through a combination of medical, surgical and therapeutic treatment, a patient can get treatment for spasticity and other physical problems.
Spina Bifida - This is a birth defect that causes an incomplete closing of the spinal cord and the membranes surrounding it in the early months of pregnancy. They can be of three types: spina bifida myelomeningocele, meningocele, and the occulta. Pediatric neurosurgical specialists are needed for treating children with spina bifida, myelodysplasia, and other defects.
Vascular deformations - Arteriovenous malformation or AVM is the most common brain vascular malformation. The vascular system is responsible for carrying the blood throughout your body through veins, capillaries, and arteries. If there is any vascular irregularity and malformation in the brain, it can create a risk of intracerebral hemorrhage or stroke. Also, blood vessels start to grow unusually and start becoming more visible. These are called birthmarks, port wine stains, or hemangiomas. These marks can disappear or shrink after the child turns 5. However, if necessary, you can try some surgical options.
Minimally invasive surgery - This type of surgery leads to less pain, short stay, and less traumatic surgery. Therefore it is better than traditional surgery.
