Paediatric neurosurgery is a type of neurosurgery:

Brain tumours:

It is a disorder in which the growth of abnormal cells occurs in the child's brain. The type of surgery for treating this disorder depends on the type of brain tumour, its location and the child's age.

It accounts for nearly 87% of all stroke cases. It is largely treatable, if you get to the hospital in time.

Neurofibromatosis:

It is a genetic disorder in which tumours are formed on the nerve. The tumours can develop on nerves, brain and spinal cord. The surgery can reduce the symptoms of this disorder and some therapies can also treat neurofibromatosis.

Congenital defects:

(TIA) is a “mini-stroke” that is caused by a temporary blockage of an artery in the brain. TIAs typically last for less than 24 hours, and they do not cause permanent damage. However, TIAs are a warning sign that a more serious stroke may occur in the future.

Few common causes include high BP, brain aneurysm, arterio-venous malformations (AVM), arterio-venous fistula (AVF) & brain tumors.
