Bio
Biography
Dr. Edward Ahn focuses on the surgical treatment of neurological disorders in children. He has particular interests in minimally invasive endoscopic surgery for the treatment of hydrocephalus, brain tumors, and craniosynostosis. He has also gained expertise in surgical revascularization for patients with moyamoya syndrome.
Dr. Edward Ahn's laboratory research focuses on the pathophysiology of germinal matrix hemorrhage and treatment of the associated hydrocephalus in premature infants.
