Neurosurgeons, also known as brain surgeons, are doctors who specialize in the surgical treatment of conditions that affect the nervous system, brain, and spine. Neurosurgeons first have the training which makes them eligible to practise as a doctor. After this, they complete specialist training in neurosurgery. Neurosurgeons mostly see patients in their own clinics and public and private hospitals. Sometimes, they have to work with other specialists and medical experts to seek their opinion on diagnosis and surgery techniques. They also evaluate the diagnostic tests to know the exact underlying conditions and accordingly proceed with the treatment.

Based on the diagnosis, the doctor can start appropriate treatment. For a complete evaluation of your condition, you have to undergo neurological examination which may include the following:

  • Myelogram
  • Neurological exam
  • Lumbar Puncture
  • Blood Tests
  • Physical Exam
  • Spinal MRI
  • CT Brain

  1. Cerebral Angiogram
  2. CT Myelogram
  3. CT Scans
  4. Lumbar Puncture
  5. MRI Scans

  2. Weak grip
  3. Persistent headache/migraine
