CHKD’s pediatric neurosurgery team delivers comprehensive diagnostic and surgical management for infants, children, and adolescents with neurological conditions. Care is integrated across multiple multidisciplinary clinics, enabling coordinated treatment for high‑acuity and chronic disorders.
The neurosurgery program treats a broad spectrum of conditions, including:
- Brain and spinal tumors — malignant and benign lesions requiring coordinated neuro‑oncologic care.
- Traumatic injuries — acute management of cranial and spinal trauma.
- Chiari malformations — congenital hindbrain abnormalities.
- Hydrocephalus — managed through shunting or endoscopic procedures.
- Intractable epilepsy — surgical evaluation for seizure control.
- Spina bifida — lifelong care for spinal dysraphism.
- Craniofacial disorders — requiring collaboration with craniofacial specialists.
- Vascular malformations — including AVMs and other cerebrovascular anomalies.
