Pediatric neurosurgery is a surgical treatment of diseases of the nervous system, brain and spinal cord in children. The main difficulty in the work of a pediatric neurosurgeon is the immaturity of the child's body. Improper treatment can affect the health of the child in the future. Therefore, it is necessary that the operation be justified, accurately planned and carried out in a gentle manner.

Diseases treated by pediatric neurosurgeons
Pediatric neurosurgeons treat brain tumors, congenital anomalies of the skull and spine, and injuries.
The most common diseases in children:
- hydrocephalus (dropsy of the brain) - accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain;
- spina bifida (spina bifida) - a congenital pathology of the development of the spinal cord;
- Arnold-Chiari anomaly - a congenital anomaly in the development of the brain, in which part of the cerebellum descends to the upper sections of the spinal cord;
- craniosynostosis - premature fusion of the sutures of the skull;
- encephalocele - a type of craniocerebral hernia;
- cysts in the brain;
- medulloblastoma - a malignant tumor that affects the cerebellum;
- craniopharyngioma - a benign brain tumor;
- ependymoma - a tumor of the posterior cranial fossa, which can metastasize;
- astrocytoma, glioblastoma - malignant neoplasms of the brain, brain stem;
- epilepsy resistant to drug treatment.
The main method of treatment in pediatric neurosurgery is surgery on the brain or spinal cord.
Children are often prescribed sparing operations through a small hole in the skull:
- removal of brain tumors;
- shunting for hydrocephalus is an operation in which an additional pathway for the outflow of cerebrospinal fluid is created.
Open surgeries are assigned to a child for:
- removal of brain formations of large size or fuzzy shape;
- correction of defects of the spine or bones of the skull;
- removal of a part of a vertebra in case of Arnold-Chiari anomaly (laminectomy);
- epilepsy surgery.
The decision on the method of treatment is made by the neurosurgeon after a comprehensive diagnosis.
Peculiarities of diagnostics in pediatric neurosurgery
The main examination in pediatric neurosurgery is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It is assigned for accurate planning of the operation. This is a safe non-invasive diagnostic without the use of x-rays. MRI creates a detailed image of the brain, allows the neurosurgeon to detect the disease and choose the type of surgical intervention.
During an MRI, children are given a sedative. Such seeding is necessary so that the child remains calm and does not move during the procedure, otherwise the image will be blurry.
Depending on the disease, the child is prescribed:
- consultation with a neurologist;
- consultation with an ophthalmologist;
- consultation with an otorhinolaryngologist;
- blood test (general, biochemical, oncomarkers);
- electroencephalography (EEG);
- radiography;
- lumbar puncture - examination of the cerebrospinal fluid;
- biopsy.
Peculiarities of treatment in pediatric neurosurgery centers abroad
Spain
The leading center for pediatric neurosurgery in Spain is the Teknon Clinic.
A feature of the neurosurgical department of the center is the robotic neuronavigation system Renishaw Neuromate. It forms an image of the brain in several projections and tracks the location of surgical instruments during the operation. This technology reduces the risk of damage to healthy areas of the brain during surgery.
Brain surgeries for children and adults are performed by the best neurosurgeon in Europe, Dr. Bartolome Oliver. He has been engaged in surgical treatment of pathologies of the central and peripheral nervous system for 36 years. The doctor performs 200 operations annually.

Israel
At the Ichilov Medical Center, one of the world's best specialists, Shlomo Konstantini, consults. The professor heads the Department of Pediatric Neurosurgery at the Dana Dweck Clinic. He has been operating on small patients for over 30 years. The professor performs sparing operations (method of neuroendoscopy).
Turkey
In the Liv Hospital clinic, the statistics of successful operations is 91%. This is the best indicator in Turkey (the national average is 81%). The leading experts are professors Talat Kiris and Mustafa Kemal Hamamdzhioglu. They perform over 250 brain and spinal cord surgeries annually.
Prices for treatment in pediatric neurosurgery clinics
The cost of pediatric neurosurgical operations abroad depends on the type of pathology, its complexity and stage of development.

Answers to frequently asked questions about pediatric neurosurgery
Can a child with a brain tumor fly?
Most brain tumors are not a contraindication for flying. But before traveling, you should consult a doctor. He knows the characteristics of the disease and the risks associated with it.
Why is it important to choose a clinic with neuronavigation and neuromonitoring?
Intraoperative neuromonitoring is a system that detects and helps prevent damage to brain structures during surgery. It creates an interactive map of brain regions that are responsible for certain bodily functions. In combination with neuronavigation, it increases the success of the operation. The more accurately the equipment works, the more the surgeon will remove the formation or pathological part of the brain and not damage healthy tissues.
How to organize treatment for a child?
To go abroad for treatment, leave a request on the Bookimed website. You will be contacted by a coordinating doctor who will select the best specialized clinic.
For a preliminary consultation with a pediatric neurosurgeon, it is necessary to provide the results of the tests, an MRI scan, and the child's medical records. If necessary, the examination can be carried out already in the clinic.
You receive a treatment program and its cost. If the program is suitable, the coordinating doctor helps arrange the trip. He stays in touch during treatment and after returning home.

Medical coordinators consult you and help to make the right choice. Bookimed services are free for you and do not affect the clinic's bill.

The clinic has a very good atmosphere, despite the fact that it is a hospital. Stay in this clinic can be compared with a sanatorium. The doctors are qualified, they explain everything in detail, they are treated with respect. The chamber is very comfortable, beautiful view from the window, which helps to switch a little from the disease. There is wi-fi in the ward, which is very important for foreign patients, since you can always contact your relatives without any problems. There is a TV, a fridge, a shower and a toilet in the ward. I am very pleased with the book service, namely Katerina and Daria, as they facilitated all the organizational issues. We picked up the necessary flight at the best price. I was very worried that when we arrived at the airport we would reach the clinic without knowing the language. But bookimed takes care of his patients, we were met by a transfer, brought to the clinic, held to the reception, helped to arrange all the documents. If there were any questions, Daria and Katerina are always in touch and always helped to resolve any issue. I am very pleased with the clinic that bookimed offered us. Cun underwent five operations that were successful and now, every day his son is getting better. My advice to everyone, if you are told in Ukraine that nothing can be done or just watch, do not give in and be sure to contact bookimed to get advice from experienced doctors according to your diagnosis. So, as in Ukraine there are not many devices, without which doctors refuse to perform certain operations. And naturally they do not have the necessary experience in treating certain diagnoses. I used to think how to get advice abroad if I have never been abroad in my life. It turns out everything is very simple, you just need to contact bookimed, and they organize a consultation with the doctor who is needed for you. Once again I want to express my deep gratitude to Katerina and Darya for all that they have done for my son and me !!! В клинике очень хорошая атмосфера, не смотря на то, что это больница. Пребывание в этой клинике можно сравнить с санаторием. Доктора квалифицированные, все детально объясняют, относятся с уважением. Палата очень комфортная, красивый вид с окна, который помогает немного переключиться от болезни. В палате есть wi-fi, что очень важно для иностранных пациентов, так-как без проблем всегда можно связаться с близкими. В палате есть телевизор, холодильник, душ туалет. Очень довольна сервисом bookimed, а именно Катериной и Дарьей, так-как именно они облегчили нам все организационные моменты. Подобрали необходимый рейс по самой оптимальной цене. Я очень переживала, как мы прилетев в аэропорт доберёмся до клиники, не зная языка. Но bookimed заботится о своих пациентах, нас встретил трансфер, привез в клинику, провел к рецепции, помог оформить все документы. Если возникали какие то вопросы Дарья и Катерина всегда на связи и всегда помогали решить любой вопрос. Я очень довольна клиникой, которую нам предложил bookimed. Cын перенёс пять операций, которые прошли успешно и сейчас, с каждым днем сыну становится лучше. Мой совет всем, если вам говорят в Украине, что ничего нельзя сделать или просто наблюдайтесь, не здавайтесь и обязательно обращайтесь в bookimed чтобы получить консультацию опытных врачей, именно по вашему диагнозу. Так-как в Украине нет многих аппаратов, без которых врачи отказываются делать те или иные операции. И естественно не имеют необходимого опыта в лечении определённых диагнозов. Я раньше думала, как же получить консультацию за границей если я никогда в жизни не была зарубежом. Оказывается все очень просто, нужно лишь обратиться в bookimed, и они организуют консультацию с доктором, который нужен именно вам. Ещё раз хочу выразить огромное благодарствие Катерине и Дарье за все что они для нас с сыном сделали!!!
