Minimally Invasive Brain Surgery Treatments and Services for Children

Our neurosurgeons strive to provide minimally invasive options whenever possible for a variety of conditions. These include endoscopic arachnoid cyst fenestration, endoscopic colloid cyst removal, and endoscopic biopsy or removal of intraventricular tumors. Additionally, select patients are offered endoscope-assisted craniosynostosis.

Together, Brain Care Institute experts design an individualized treatment plan and collaborate throughout all stages of care.

The multidisciplinary team may include experts from:

Treating more with less.
