Savannah's NICN Journey
Cheryl Carr knew her second pregnancy was tougher than her first. Diagnosed with complete previa, in which the placenta supplying nutrients and oxygen to the fetus blocks the cervical opening, Carr was put on bed rest.
Neurosurgery Research
The division has both clinical and basic research interests which include local delivery to eloquent pediatric tumors such as brainstem and spinal cord tumors. The other focus is pediatric spinal cord injury. Clinical research focuses on hydrocephalus, endoscopy, and pediatric trauma. There are several ongoing trials for children with these conditions.
