Our section of pediatric neurosurgery is devoted and committed to the care of children with neurological conditions. All of our surgeries are accomplished at Children's Hospital of Illinois with 127 beds and over 75 pediatric subspecialties. We have a monthly craniofacial and spina bifida clinic. We collaborate with St. Jude's Midwest affiliate for management of pediatric brain tumor. Easter Seals has a large facility in our campus which provides a large referral base for children with spasticity.

Currently, our pediatric surgical cases include third ventriculostomies, CSF shunting, baclofen pump insertion, craniofacial reconstruction along with pediatric plastic surgery, posterior fossa tumor resection and surgeries for neural tube defects such as spinal cord detethering and closure of myelomeningoceles. With level I trauma in house, we also see and treat children with complex head and spinal injuries. With building of a new children's hospital, we expect our surgical volume to grow and further educational experience for our residents.
