Neurosurgeon

A neurosurgeon is a physician that has training as a surgeon with more specialized training to operate on abnormalities in the brain and spinal cord. These abnormalities might be due to abnormal development prior to birth, such as spina bifida or from complications that happen after birth, such as a skull fracture or hydrocephalus. In addition to the neonatologist, the neurosurgeon might work closely with the neurologist for the management of certain conditions.
