Abstract
The renowned Turkish surgeon Şerefeddin Sabuncuoğlu (1385–1468 AD), delineates management of various pediatric neurosurgical diseases such as head trauma, spinal trauma, and intrauterine and infantile hydrocephalus, as well as basic surgical principles in his textbook Cerrahiyyetü’l Haniyye, which consists of three chapters dealing with a variety of surgical specialities. The sections on neurosurgery are still relevant to modern medicine. The book combines previous knowledge of Greek, Roman, Arabic, and Turkish surgery. Today, Sabuncuoğlu is recognized as a pioneer of pediatric neurosurgery.
