This field has made significant advancements in recent decades, with innovative techniques and technologies broadening its scope and efficacy. While conditions such as epilepsy, spasticity and movement disorders are well-established indications for functional neurosurgical interventions in children, emerging applications in neuropsychiatric and developmental disorders are under active investigation.</p> <p>This Special Issue aims to collect clinical and pre-clinical studies exploring the application of functional neurosurgical techniques in pediatric populations. Submissions focusing on novel indications, upcoming technologies, refined methodologies, and long-term outcomes in the management of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders, including well documented case reports are particularly welcome. A deeper understanding of the mechanisms, challenges, and future directions in pediatric functional neurosurgery will help define its evolving role in treating the most challenging conditions affecting the developing brain.</p> <p>Dr. Luciano Furlanetti<br />Dr. Ricardo Gepp<br />Guest Editors</p> Archives of Pediatric Neurosurgery 2025-04-02 https://archpedneurosurg.com.br/sbnped2019/announcement/view/16 <p><strong>Call for Papers: Functional neurosurgery in children</strong></p> <p>Submission deadline: May 30, 2025</p> <p>Functional neurosurgery in the pediatric population is a rapidly evolving field with unique challenges, especially given the complexity of neurological development and the potential impact on quality of life. This edition of APN seeks to explore various aspects of this specialty, including patient selection, perioperative care, relevant anatomy, surgical techniques, management of potential complications, and other critical considerations unique to functional neurosurgery in children. These procedures are essential for treating conditions such as epilepsy, movement disorders, spasticity, and dystonia, among others. We look forward to your valuable contribution to this important discussion. </p> <p><em>Archives of Pediatric Neurosurgery </em>welcomes the submission of manuscripts in these and other areas.
