The neurosurgery program at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, led by Phillip “Jay” Storm, MD, draws families from around the world. It is one of the highest-volume pediatric neurosurgery programs in the nation, with expertise in craniotomy and other traditional forms of brain surgery; nasoendoscopy (removing tumors through the nose) for craniopharyngioma and other skull base tumors and lesions; pial synangiosis for moyamoya disease (also called moyamoya syndrome), and many other procedures.
Parents who have been through the experience of having a child with a brain tumor or other condition requiring neurosurgery offer advice to other parents who have learned their child may require the care of a neurosurgeon. Advice includes: Ask the surgeon about volume (how many of the procedures he or she has performed in children); ask about the hospital’s other specialties from which your child may require care (such as oncology, endocrinology and neurology); ask whether the surgery will include a pediatric anesthesiologist with a large experience in neurosurgery cases; and more.
The parents in the video have children who were diagnosed with brain tumors and vascular disease, including craniopharyngioma, moyamoya disease, Gorlin syndrome and medulloblastoma.
