Pediatric Neurosurgery

Aims & Scope

Pediatric Neurosurgery strives to publish new information and observations in pediatric neuro­surgery, neurology, neuroradiology and neuropathology.

The focus is on the etiology of neurologic diseases, the operative care of affected patients and outcomes research.

In addition to experimental and clinical studies, the journal presents critical reviews on selected topics as well as case histories and reports on advances in surgical technique.

This thought-pro­voking approach encourages dissemination of information from neurosurgeons and neuroscientists around the world.

Published material will be of interest to both researchers and clinicians who study and care for patients with pediatric, congenital, and developmental diseases of the nervous system.
