Pediatric neurosurgery is a young discipline that requires specialized training and dedication. As a young discipline, it is open to advances designed to improve patient outcome and the acquisition of new technologies aimed at enlarging its field of application. Pediatric neurosurgery is thus an evolving discipline that ceaselessly introduces new technology while actively driving the improvements of other allied pediatric specialties. Although full-time engagement in pediatric neurosurgery is reserved for the fortunate few working in specialized centers, it is equally true that a basic understanding of pediatric neurosurgery is essential for all neurosurgeons working in general neurosurgical facilities, who will inevitably be treating children or adolescents some time during their careers. This need is particularly obvious in developing countries where neurosurgical services are still sparsely distributed in face of high proportion of children in their populations. In these countries, general neurosurgeons must also function as pediatric neurosurgeons.
