When it comes to neurosurgical disorders in children, medical expertise matters.
Since 1991, ACIBADEM Pediatric Neurosurgery Center sets an example in this medical field, serving as a reference center for complex cases from Turkey and abroad. It was established as a comprehensive center where experts from various medical specialties work in collaboration for the treatment of all neurological pathologies in children, including congenital anomalies, epilepsy, spasticity, and brain tumors. Today, it is an internationally recognized center, providing exceptional care for still-developing children’s brains, with more than 25% of our patients coming from all over the world.
“A child is not a miniature version of an adult. The difference between a child and an adult is as vast as the difference between a mouse and a giraffe. It is not just in size but also in shape, anatomy and function. Function centers of an adult brain are well established, but unlike adult brains, the brains of children are still in the process of development. Which means some of the safe zones that we can easily operate on adults, are forbidden in children.”
