Pediatric Neurosurgery
Pediatric neurosurgery is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on the surgical treatment of neurological conditions in children. Neurosurgery in pediatric patients addresses a wide range of disorders affecting the central nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Pediatric neurosurgery requires a highly specialized skill set, and treatment plans are tailored to each child’s unique condition.
