Pediatric neurosurgical conditions can dramatically affect development, functional status, and therefore quality of life—these changes can have life lasting consequences or benefits. There are very few disease-specific quality outcome scales, which have been validated in a prospective fashion, to assess children treated by pediatric neurosurgeons. We will review the current metrics that have been used in children with hydrocephalus, epilepsy, brain tumors, Chiari I malformation, or spina bifida. There is growing interest to develop and validate new quality-of-life metrics, which capture the perspective of both the parent and child.
