In 1929, Franc D. Ingraham, Harvey Cushing's protégé, established the first pediatric neurosurgical unit in the world at Boston Children's Hospital and dedicated his career to the neurosurgical care of children. He trained with both Cushing and Dandy and spent 1 year working in Oxford with Sherrington, who considered Ingraham to be the finest operative surgeon ever to work in his laboratory. Ingraham was instrumental in developing novel treatments, which he compiled in his classic book, Neurosurgery of Infancy and Childhood. Although he was modest and shy, Ingraham loved to entertain children with magic and enjoyed photography in and out of the operating room. Unfortunately, his career was plagued by personal illness, and he died young in 1965 at the age of 67. Despite his prolific 36-year neurosurgical career, Ingraham remained an associate professor at Harvard at his retirement. To recognize his remarkable contributions, Harvard established an endowed chair in his name in 1967. Ingraham was a pioneer and a leader in the development of pediatric neurosurgery by virtue of his imagination, intelligence, and ability to lead and inspire others. Cushing has come to be regarded as the founder of neurosurgery. It is fair to conclude that Ingraham, his disciple, is the founder of pediatric neurosurgery.
1929年，弗朗克·D·英格拉哈姆（Franc D. Ingraham），哈维·库欣（Harvey Cushing）的门生，在波士顿儿童医院建立了世界上首个儿科神经外科科室，并将自己的职业生涯奉献给了儿童神经外科护理事业。他曾师从库欣和丹迪（Dandy），并在牛津与谢灵顿（Sherrington）共事了一年，谢灵顿认为英格拉哈姆是在他实验室工作过的最优秀的外科手术医生。英格拉哈姆在开发新疗法方面发挥了重要作用，他将这些疗法汇编在自己的经典著作《婴儿期和儿童期神经外科学》中。尽管英格拉哈姆谦逊腼腆，但他喜欢用魔术逗孩子们开心，还喜欢在手术室内外拍照。不幸的是，他的职业生涯饱受疾病困扰，1965年英年早逝，年仅67岁。尽管英格拉哈姆有着长达36年硕果累累的神经外科职业生涯，但退休时他仍是哈佛大学的副教授。为表彰他的卓越贡献，哈佛大学于1967年以他的名义设立了一个捐赠教授职位。凭借其想象力、智慧以及领导和激励他人的能力，英格拉哈姆成为了儿科神经外科发展的先驱和领导者。库欣已被视为神经外科学的奠基人。可以公正地得出结论，他的弟子英格拉哈姆是儿科神经外科学的奠基人。
