Pediatric Neurosurgery is a sub-specialty of Neurosurgery and requires additional fellowship training after residency to specialize in the care of infants and children. The specialty focuses on the particular problems seen, and sometimes unique to, the pediatric age group. As such, our practice is exclusively dedicated to the care of children with neurosurgical disorders and incorporates a team approach involving many other pediatric specialists including pediatric anesthesia, neuro-radiology, neuro-oncology, plastic surgery, and neurology.

A newly constructed MRI and CT suite in the Children's Hospital was designed to accommodate the special imaging and sedation requirements of children with brain and spinal cord problems.
