Abstract
Introduction It might be presumed that the discipline of pediatric neurosurgery is as youthful as the patients it serves. But this subspecialty of neurosurgery is at least 50 years old. Discussion This 2003 Donald D. Matson Memorial Lecture will examine the growth and development of children’s neurosurgical care from the aspects of its identity and continuing educational activity, the impact of technology, outcome measures, and the role of public advocacy.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
