Genetic Disorders

Children with inheritable disorders frequently require neurosurgical treatment. As a team we work along with the other pediatric specialists and geneticists to provide advanced care in a family-centered environment.

Some genetic disorders are associated with tumors such as

  • Neurofibromatosis
  • Tuberous sclerosis
  • Cowden disease
  • von Hippel Lindau disease
  • Spina bifida
  • Craniosynostosis
  • Epilepsy
  • Vascular abnormalities

We work closely with colleagues in genetics, pediatric neurology, neuroradiology, neuropathology, and other pediatric specialties to provide comprehensive assessment and management of the child's disorder.
