Pediatric Neurosurgery – Conditions, Causes, Symptoms and Treatment
Conditions
Pediatric neurosurgery treats a range of intricate neurological disorders in children, such as spina bifida, hydrocephalus (excessive CSF accumulation in brain), and craniosynostosis (premature fusion of the skull bones,. The above disorders can affect neurological function, growth, and development.
Causes
These neurological disorders may be caused by congenital abnormalities, genetic defects, prenatal or birth injuries, infections, tumors, or trauma. Some, such as hydrocephalus and spina bifida, occur because of defectively formed brain or spinal cord during fetal development, whereas others can occur because of acquired diseases or trauma.
Symptoms
Symptoms are exceedingly varied according to the specific neurological disorder, but they often include developmental delays, seizures, muscle weakness or tightness, abnormal head shape or size, trouble with balance or coordination, headaches, and occasionally neurological deficits such as visual or speech impairment. Timely diagnosis and treatment is essential for optimal outcome.
Treatment
Treatment consists of specialized pediatric neurosurgical procedures including excision and repair of myelomeningocele/lipoma of spinal cord, shunt placement for hydrocephalus, and correction of brain malformations like encephalocele. A multifaceted approach involving pediatric surgeon, pediatric neurologist, pediatric intensivist, and rehabilitation maximizes outcomes and aids to child’s development and growth.
