Summary
Citation analysis identified the 100 most impactful pediatric neurosurgery articles published since 1976. This compilation aids clinicians and researchers in understanding key contributions to pediatric neurosurgery literature.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Bibliometrics
- Medical Literature Analysis
Background:
- The vast body of pediatric neurosurgery literature makes identifying seminal works challenging.
- Citation analysis offers a quantitative method to assess the impact of research papers.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify and analyze the top 100 most cited articles in pediatric neurosurgery.
- To provide a resource for clinicians and researchers to understand influential publications in the field.
Main Methods:
- Searched Journal Citation Report for "pediatric neurosurgery" or "pediatric neuro" in titles.
- Utilized Web of Science Core Collection to identify the top 100 most cited articles from eight selected journals (1976-2021).
- Collected data including journal, impact factor, title, citations, publication date, and article type.
Main Results:
- Screened 1609 articles to identify the 100 most cited pediatric neurosurgery publications since 1976.
- The analysis ranked articles based on citation count, highlighting their influence.
Conclusions:
- This curated list of highly cited pediatric neurosurgery articles serves as a valuable reference.
- It assists in navigating the literature, understanding study types, and identifying key authors and journals.

01:54The Spinal Cord
The spinal cord is the body’s major nerve tract of the central nervous system, communicating afferent sensory information from the periphery to the brain and efferent motor information from the brain to the body. The human spinal cord extends from the hole at the base of the skull, or foramen magnum, to the level of the first or second lumbar vertebra.
01:30Neurulation
Neurulation is the embryological process which forms the precursors of the central nervous system and occurs after gastrulation has established the three primary cell layers of the embryo: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. In humans, the majority of this system is formed via primary neurulation, in which the central portion of the ectoderm—originally appearing as a flat sheet of cells—folds upwards and inwards, sealing off to form a hollow neural tube. As development proceeds, the anterior...
01:15Spinal Cord: Gross Anatomy
The spinal cord resides within the protective confines of the vertebral column. It is the main pathway for information traveling between the brain and the body. It plays a fundamental role in nearly all bodily functions, from simple reflexes to complex motor movements. The spinal cord begins at the medulla oblongata at the base of the brainstem and extends downward, terminating at the conus medullaris near the first and second lumbar vertebrae. The spinal cord's length in adults is...
01:16Spinal Cord: Cross-sectional Anatomy
The cross-sectional anatomy of the spinal cord offers a detailed view of its complex structure and function within the central nervous system. At the core of the spinal cord lies the gray matter, characterized by its butterfly or "H"-shaped appearance in cross-section. This central region is enveloped by white matter, with the overall structure divided into symmetrical halves by the dorsal median sulcus and the ventral median fissure.

01:23Spinal Nerves: Anatomy
Spinal nerves are pivotal conduits in the nervous system, bridging the central nervous system (CNS) with the peripheral nervous system (PNS). These nerves enable a complex communication network between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body, facilitating sensory input, motor output, and autonomic functions.
There are 31 bilateral pairs of spinal nerves, each emerging from the spinal cord through the intervertebral foramina—openings between adjacent vertebrae. These nerves are...

01:21Cerebrospinal Fluid
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a colorless liquid that flows around the brain and the spinal cord, playing a vital role in the protection, support, and overall function of the central nervous system (CNS). CSF production, circulation, and absorption are tightly regulated processes essential for the brain and spinal cord to function properly.
CSF Production
CSF is produced mainly in the choroid plexus, a network of capillaries and ependymal cells located within the ventricular system of the brain.
