Dr. Neal J. Naff

Dr. Mark Luciano is the director of the Johns Hopkins Hydrocephalus and Cerebral Fluid Center. A renowned leader in treating hydrocephalus, Dr. Luciano is distinguished both nationally and internationally for his research and educational and clinical work in neuroendoscopy. Dr. Luciano treats adults with hydrocephalus, pseudotumor cerebri, intracranial hypotension, Chiari malformations, and cerebral and spinal cysts. He has significant expertise treating children and adults with cerebrospinal fluid leaks and congenital disorders. Among his accomplishments in neuroscience research and biomedical engineering are his investigation of the cerebrovascular response to hydrocephalus and the invention of a unique device for control of intracranial pressure (ICP) pulsatility to increase blood flow. His National Institutes of Health-funded studies have explored prolonged compression and hypoxia in the brain as a result of hydrocephalus, as well as the interaction between cerebrospinal fluid and vascular systems. Dr. Luciano is rated as an Elite provider by MediFind in the treatment of Hydrocephalus. His top areas of expertise are Hydrocephalus, Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, Increased Intracranial Pressure, Posterior Fossa Decompression, and Gastrostomy.

Dr. Eric Jackson specializes in the evaluation and treatment of patients with a broad range of neurosurgical disorders, including congenital malformations of the brain and spine, hydrocephalus (including endoscopic treatment), chiari malformation, craniosynostosis, spinal dysraphism/tethered cord, brain and spinal cord tumors, and traumatic brain injuries. He is the Principal Investigator for several multi-institution research studies, including: Hydrocephalus Clinical Research Network: currently investigating endoscopic surgery vs shunting for the treatment of hydrocephalus in infants in a $10M randomized trial funded by the NIH Park Reeves Syringomyelia Research Consortium Advancing the treatment for pediatric craniopharyngioma, identifying biological targets for molecular therapy A multi-institutional trial investigating a non-invasive eye tracking device for assessing increased intracranial pressure. Dr. Jackson is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Hydrocephalus. His top areas of expertise are Hydrocephalus, Chiari Malformation, Chiari Malformation Type 2, Posterior Fossa Decompression, and Endoscopy.
