FAQ's Related to Neurosurgeon

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 work in different settings like private clinics and public or private hospitals. They often collaborate with other specialists and medical professionals as per the requirement of surgery. They also evaluate the condition of the patient before performing surgery in order to find the complications of the surgery, if any.

A neurosurgeon will recommend you one or more diagnostic tests before and during consultation in order to find out the case of the condition and start the right treatment. A neurological exam or a neuro exam is the evaluation of an individual’s nervous system to know how well it is functioning and find out an underlying condition. A neurological exam may include:

  • MRI Brain
  • Blood Tests
  • CT Brain
  • Neurological exam
  • Spinal X-ray
  • Myelogram
  • Physical Exam
  • Nerve conduction velocity studies/electromyography
  • Spinal MRI

  1. Cerebral Angiogram
  2. CT Myelogram
  3. CT Scans
  4. Lumbar Puncture
  5. MRI Scans
  6. X-ray Imaging
  7. Electroencephalogram

  9. Spinal tap CT

  1. Numbness and pain
  2. Weak grip
  3. Persistent headache/migraine
  4. Impaired movement
