Pediatric Neurosurgery and VP Shunt in Nagpur

What is Pediatric Neurosurgery?

Children with neurological conditions are not just small adults. Their developing brains and nervous systems require delicate care, specialized equipment, and a compassionate, child-focused approach.

Pediatric neurosurgery encompasses the diagnosis and surgical treatment of congenital malformations, brain tumors, hydrocephalus, and spinal defects in infants, children, and adolescents.

Common Pediatric Conditions Treated

  • Hydrocephalus: Excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain, causing increased skull pressure.
  • Spina Bifida: Congenital defect where the child's spinal cord fails to develop properly.
  • Tethered Cord Syndrome: Tissue attachments that limit the movement of the spinal cord within the column.
  • Pediatric Brain Tumors: Tumors arising in childhood, requiring highly precise micro-resection.

Advanced Hydrocephalus & VP Shunt Treatment in Nagpur

Dr. Ankur Sanghavi is highly regarded for performing **pediatric neurosurgery in Nagpur**. For children suffering from hydrocephalus, he specializes in inserting a **Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) Shunt**:

A VP Shunt is a medical device consisting of a thin tube and valve system. Dr. Sanghavi gently places the shunt to drain excess fluid from the brain cavities (ventricles) into the abdomen, where the fluid is safely reabsorbed. This procedure immediately relieves brain pressure, preventing developmental delays and protecting the child's neurological future.
