Neurosurgery


The Section of Pediatric Neurosurgery offers diagnosis and surgical management for problems of the central nervous system in patients from newborn to age 21. Members of the section have particular expertise in surgical intervention for brain tumors; epilepsy; congenital problems, including cerebral palsy; and vascular problems such as arteriovenous malformations, hydrocephalus and myelomeningocele.

Cleveland Clinic physicians have developed a number of complex, technology-intensive neurosurgical procedures for adults, including certain specialized procedures for epilepsy, dorsal rhizotomy for spasticity in cerebral palsy, radiosurgery for brain tumors and arteriovenous malformation, and endoscopic neurosurgery for treatment of hydrocephalus. Pediatric Radiology and Neurosurgery frequently collaborate in the care of patients to provide imaging, PET or interventional radiology as needed. Subspecialty clinics for patients with brain tumors and cerebral palsy are held on a regular basis.
