About

Dr. Lorenzo Genitori is a leading figure in pediatric neurosurgery, whose work bridges the technical precision of surgical innovation with the complex frontiers of neuropsychiatric care. His research is primarily focused on operational improvements in pediatric neurosurgery and the application of advanced neuromodulation techniques for severe, early-onset neuropsychiatric disorders. A key contribution is his pioneering use of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subgenual cingulate region to treat a rare and debilitating case of conversion disorder with psychogenic non-epileptic seizures and prolonged catatonia in a young patient. This work, which has garnered attention for its novel approach to "network pathologies" of the brain, demonstrates his commitment to translating cutting-edge neuroscience into life-changing therapies. While his most-cited works are recent, their impact is already being felt in the field, signaling a new direction for treating conditions once considered beyond the reach of neurosurgery. Dr. Genitori’s career is defined by a bold vision: to expand the boundaries of what pediatric neurosurgery can heal.
