Pediatric neurosurgeons are also known by the following names: pediatric nervous system surgeon, children's brain surgeon, pediatric brain surgeon, and children’s spinal cord surgeon. Neurosurgical conditions seen by pediatric neurosurgeons are often different from those commonly treated by an adult or general neurosurgeon. Special training in pediatric conditions as they relate to pediatric neurosurgical disorders is very important. Pediatric neurosurgical conditions often are often present for life. Pediatric neurosurgeons have a longstanding relationship with their patients. Also, children with nervous system disorders generally require ongoing and close follow-up throughout adolescence and childhood.
