Pediatric Neurosurgery
Unlike fully-grown adults, children are still growing,
and their bones, nerves and muscles develop at a quicker rate than adults’.
Pediatric neurosurgeons specialize in implementing treatment methods
that are specific to children. These specialists have received unique
training in these areas.
Neurological problems seen by pediatric neurosurgeons
are many times different from those typically
seen by adult or general neurosurgeons. It is important for the neurosurgeon to have special
training in pediatric diseases as they relate to pediatric
neurological diseases. Pediatric
neurological problems may be present for life and it is important for pediatric neurosurgeons have a unique and longterm
relationship with their patients. It is usual for children
with nervous system problems to require
ongoing follow-up throughout childhood
and adolescence.
