Associated Neurological Diseases

Jordan with her mom, Melissa.  October 2000

Pediatric Neurosurgical Diseases are medical disorders of the brain and nervous systems. Associated Neurological Diseases of hydrocephalus include:

  • Spina Bifida
  • Myelomeningocele
  • Syringomyelia
  • Acquired Brain Injury
  • Brain Tumors

Children with these diseases may also have hydrocephalus as a secondary condition, due to an abnormal CSF flow through the ventricular system. Research into these diseases is essential to these children, who need specialized pediatric neurosurgical care to manage their health and to sustain a higher quality of life.
