Pediatric Neurosurgery
With over 1,000 neurosurgical cases performed each year, our pediatric neurosurgery team provides care for the entire gambit of neurosurgical diseases.
Pediatric Neurosurgery in Colorado
Our pediatric neurosurgery team at the University of Colorado Anschutz School of Medicine cares for young patients with complex neurosurgical diseases and conditions at Children’s Hospital Colorado.
Each provider works closely with other pediatric specialists as members of multidisciplinary teams providing care for patients with complex craniofacial anomalies, brain tumors, spinal defects, and more. Our pediatric neurosurgeons are part of a busy clinical service and utilize the latest technology to treat a wide range of pediatric neurological conditions.
Our neurosurgeons are leaders in international organizations and research. The Hankinson Lab focuses on craniopharyngioma research, a complex pediatric brain tumor. The Alexander Lab studies childhood epilepsy, looking for new ways to treat focal cortical dysplasia, the most common cause of surgically-treated epilepsy. The Alshareef Lab studies the complement cascade in post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus. Ariana Barkley, MD, leads a robust global neurosurgery initiative.
