Paediatric neurosurgery deals with surgical conditions of the brain, spinal cord and nerves in children. Many of these, such as hydrocephalus and spina bifida, are present at birth and need early surgical care to protect the child’s development.
With careful planning and modern techniques, most children recover well and go on to reach their milestones.
Conditions we treat:
- Hydrocephalus (VP shunt surgery)
- Spina bifida — meningocele and myelomeningocele
- Encephalocele
- Tethered cord
- Dermal sinus and spinal lipoma
- Head injury in children
- Scalp and skull swellings
When to seek advice:
- Rapidly enlarging head size
- A swelling on the back or head present from birth
- Bulging soft spot (fontanelle), vomiting or excessive sleepiness
- Weakness of the legs or problems with urine and stool control
