Hi, karl-emil has hydrocephalus. we have mri images. we would like a second opinion on prognosis and treatment (wait and see) or shunt. who to contact?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A good option is : to contact the International Center Boston Children's Hospital at 1-617-355-5209 or international.center@childrens.harvard.edu to arrange sending medical records & copies of MRI's electronically to Dr. Benjamin Warf, pediatric neurosurgeon. Dr. Warf has provided excellent care for a family member of mine with hydrocephalus; his colleagues are also great. Call someone soon to avoid an emergency.
