Delivering specialized skull base care for children
Our pediatric skull base surgeons include a team of neurosurgeons and otolaryngologist who understand the unique needs of children – from refining and improving surgical procedures for a child’s anatomy to helping children feel calm and comfortable during appointments. We are here for you every step of the way – sharing our insights, communicating treatment goals and delivering exceptional care to help your child feel better and return to everyday activities.
Creating a customized approach to skull base surgery
The skull base surgery team at Children’s Health is committed to delivering better outcomes with a personalized approach to surgery. We use the latest advances in technology, including 3D imaging and printed models of your child’s anatomy, to precisely plan the endoscopic skull base procedure. This planning allows for more accuracy and better results.
Today, many skull base disorders are treated with endoscopic procedures – a minimally invasive surgical approach. Children with certain skull base disorders who have endoscopic surgery can have a better outcome, less pain and a faster recovery.
Our pediatric skull base program is the only one of its kind in North Texas. We offer unmatched expertise in performing endoscopic anterior skull base surgeries on children. Our team works across disciplines – including neurosurgery, endocrinology, ophthalmology, otolaryngology (ear, nose and throat) and others – to determine the type of procedure that’s right for your child. Our skull base surgeons treat many different types of skull base disorders, such as congenital encephaloceles, pituitary, and sellar lesions.
