Abstract

Specialist care providers often treat complex, life-threatening intracranial paediatric pathologies and team-based clinical decisions by neurologists and neurosurgeons are vital for good clinical outcomes. We describe six scenarios highlighting multi-disciplinary team-based management of challenging paediatric conditions which provided successful outcomes. This work may aide future management of similar cases.
