Pediatric Neurosurgery

Yale pediatric neurosurgery service offers the most advanced medical care available delivered with compassionate understanding and support. Common problems treated include hydrocephalus, brain and spinal cord tumors, spina bifida, craniofacial disorders, and brain or spine trauma. Yale has had a dedicated pediatric neurosurgery program for more than 25 years. Yale physicians provide comprehensive services to infants, toddlers, school-age children, adolescents and young adults.

Many patients are directed to Yale by their neurosurgeons because their problem is unusual or extremely complicated. Patients may also refer themselves. Patients are seen quickly, usually within two weeks of calling the department. All patients referred to Yale benefit from the multi-disciplinary team approach that is an essential feature of our practice. Our surgeons maintain a close working relationship with many area neurosurgeons and welcome referrals. Care is taken to ensure the referring physician is kept current on diagnostic findings and treatment recommendations.
