Pediatric deep brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs) represent a unique management challenge given their higher cumulative risk of hemorrhage as well as a higher risk of treatment. Better understanding of hemorrhage risk in this patient population will lead to a better decision-making process for patient management.

Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a neurovascular complication due to premature birth that results in blood clots forming within the ventricles. Magnetic resonance–guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MRgHIFU) has been investigated as a noninvasive treatment to lyse clots. The authors designed and constructed a robotic MRgHIFU platform to treat the neonatal brain that facilitates ergonomic patient positioning. The clot lysis efficacy of the platform is quantified using a brain phantom and clinical MRI system.

Endoscopic strip craniectomy for metopic craniosynostosis relies on rapid growth and postoperative helmeting for correction. Endoscopic repair is generally performed before patients reach 4 months of age, and outcomes in older patients have yet to be quantified. Here, the authors examined a cohort of patients treated with endoscopic repair before or after 4 months of age to determine aesthetic outcomes of delayed repairs.

Prior to 2019, the majority of patients at Children’s Hospital Colorado were admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) following Chiari malformation (CM) decompression surgery. This study sought to identify the safety and efficacy of postoperative general ward management for these patients.

Vestibular and ocular motor dysfunction occurs in an estimated 60%–90% of concussion patients. The Vestibular/Ocular Motor Screening (VOMS) tool is validated for use in concussion patients older than 9 years. The goal of the current study was to adapt the current VOMS tool for a pediatric sample of children aged 5–9 years and establish its clinical utility in this patient population.

Resection and disconnection surgeries for epilepsy in the pediatric demographic (patients ≤ 18 years of age) are two separate, definitive intervention options in medically refractory cases. Questions remain regarding the role of surgery when seizures persist after an initial incomplete surgery. The aim of this study was to review the contemporary literature and summarize the metadata on the outcomes of repeat surgery in this specific demographic.
