The Department of Neurosurgery at Children's Hospital Boston provides highly integrated care for children with diseases and malformations of the brain, spine and nervous system. Neurological disorders often have broad-reaching effects. At Children's, we aim to understand and treat all elements of a child's condition.
In addition to a strong record of technological innovation and invention, physicians in the program are committed to a rigorous understanding of which practices constitute the very best standard of care.

The surgeons and staff of the Neurosurgery Department at Children's Hospital Boston are pleased to welcome you. Physicians in the department treat a wide range of conditions, including:

Children's Department of Neurosurgery collaborates with Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute to treat diseases and injuries of the brain, spine and nervous system.
