Welcome to the Department of Pediatric Neurosurgery

Our service aims to provide the best pediatric neurosurgical care to all children through eighteen years of age in the Northern California region. The Department of Pediatric Neurosurgery cares for children with the full spectrum of pediatric neurosurgical disorders, including tumors of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system; all types of spinal dysraphism, including complex “tethered spinal cord” problems; hydrocephalus and other disorders of CSF circulation; Chiari malformation; syringomyelia; craniosynostosis; and vascular diseases of the nervous system.

Additionally, we provide care for adults with congenital types of neurosurgical disorders, and we provide neurosurgical care to patients seen in the regional spinal bifida, skeletal dysplasia, and neurofibromatosis clinics. We also serve as a tertiary referral center for general neurosurgical patients who have unusually complex or difficult clinical problems.

If you think you have a MEDICAL OR PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCY, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY or go to the nearest hospital. DO NOT attempt to access emergency care through this web site. An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
