Our patients
Neurosurgery and pediatric neurosurgery have evolved to an indescribable level. Technological advances largely determine our ability to solve problems we never dreamed of treating.
Today, the functional prognosis we offer our patients speaks volumes about the merits of our treatments.
Low-grade Glioma.
Multimodal neuronavigation.
In this video, we can see the usefulness of multimodal neuronavigation for the treatment of brain tumors. It achieves better results while respecting patients' functionality and quality of life.
Primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET).
Functional neurosurgery.
Awake craniotomy for brain tumor resection in the considered highly eloquent brain regions requires a multidisciplinary team of specialists to achieve a successful procedure.
In pediatric patients, the selection process is of greater importance in order to perform this type of surgery safely.
Extended approach to the Sphenoid Ridge.
Skull Base Surgery.
The sphenoid ridge approach described by Drs. Gómez-Amador and Nathal Vera marked a milestone in skull base surgery techniques. The Extended-Sphenoid Ridge approach, described by our group of pediatric neurosurgeons, increases the chances of success in the treatment of pathologies located at the skull base.
Pontine Cavernoma.
Vascular Neurosurgery.
Vascular malformations of the brainstem represent a group of diseases with a high risk of neurological sequelae. The magnitude of the initial bleeding (vascular stroke) largely determines the treatment options in these cases.
Paraclinoid aneurysm.
Vascular Neurosurgery.
Rupture of intracranial artery aneurysms is the leading cause of non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage in young adults.
Brain Arteriovenous Malformation.
Vascular Neurosurgery.
The leading cause of cerebral hemorrhage in pediatric patients is the rupture of arteriovenous malformations in the cerebral arteries. Primary treatment is surgical. When these malformations are large and compromise functional areas that affect the patient's quality of life, a multimodal approach with radiosurgery and endovascular therapy should be considered.
Congenital Hydrocephalus.
Neuroendoscopy.
Rigid or flexible neuroendoscopy techniques are very helpful in reaching some of the deepest spaces within the central nervous system.
The case of a patient with congenital hydrocephalus is shown.
Craniopharyngioma.
Pediatric Neuro-Oncology.
Benign tumors of the central nervous system can cause many systemic complications due to their location and the interruption of communication pathways within the brain.
Craniosynostosis
Pediatric Neurosurgery.
Early closure or abscense of the cranial sutures causes changes in shape and restricts brain development in newborns. Nowadays, endoscopic or open cranial remodeling is possible in patients who require it.
