Neurocirurgia Pediátrica

Hamilton Matushita, Daniel Cardeal and Vitor Yamaki form a São Paulo team specializing in pediatric neurosurgery. Their practice provides consultations for families seeking assessment and treatment for conditions affecting children’s brains, skulls and spinal cords, with private appointments and reimbursement options. The team emphasizes careful planning, precise treatment and support for parents throughout diagnosis, surgery and recovery, working alongside pediatricians, neurologists, craniofacial surgeons, geneticists and rehabilitation professionals.

Areas of expertise include craniosynostosis and other skull and facial deformities; hydrocephalus and related disorders; myelomeningocele and other congenital spinal conditions; pediatric brain and spinal tumors; vascular disorders such as moyamoya disease, aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations; and neurosurgical emergencies, including head injuries and intracranial bleeding. The practice also shares educational information on diagnoses, procedures and treatment options.

Led by Professor Hamilton Matushita, whose background includes the University of São Paulo and major hospitals, the team includes Daniel Cardeal and Vitor Yamaki, both trained in neurosurgery at USP. Consultations are available at two São Paulo locations.
