Pediatrics
HydrocephalusThis condition is caused by an increased amount of cerebrospinal fluid (commonly called CSF) in the brain’s ventricles. The ventricles are a system of large, fluid-filled open spaces inside the brain. Too much CSF in the ventricles can elevate pressure in the skull. It can damage delicate brain tissue.
Normal Pressure HydrocephalusThis condition, which usually occurs in adults 55 and older, is an excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the ventricles of the brain. The ventricles are a system of large, fluid-filled open spaces inside the brain. Too much CSF in the ventricles can distort the brain's shape. It can make the brain susceptible to injury.
Pediatric Brain TumorsA brain tumor is a lump of tissue caused by abnormal and/or uncontrolled cell growth. Pediatric brain tumors are the most common solid organ tumors in children. Their treatment requires a collaborative and comprehensive approach with multiple specialties.
