General Information
Pediatric neurosurgery is a sub-specialty of Neurosurgery and requires additional fellowship training after residency to specialize in the care of infants and children. Our specialty is dedicated to the particular problems seen, and sometimes unique to, the pediatric age group. In addition, adult patients with congenital anomalies such as Chiari malformations, tethered spinal cords and spinal dysraphism are often managed by the Pediatric Neurosurgery service.

Facilities
The Children’s Medical Center
at the Medical College of Georgia
We are expertly supported by the pediatric intensive care unit and neonatal intensive care unit that are staffed around the clock with pediatric intensivists and neonatologists. The operating rooms are equipped with a neurosurgical microscope, two frameless stereotactic systems, an ultrasonic aspirator for tumor removal, and a full complement of endoscopes. Hospital rooms have convertible beds present for the parents/family so they may spend the night. Family members may be with patients at all times even in the intensive care unit. A Ronald McDonald House (706-724-5901) is located conveniently nearby to house family members as well.
