They are considered some of the highly experienced and trained specialists in medicine and are involved in consulting with other doctors about various cases. Neurosurgeons treat people with a range of neurological issues, such as lower back pain, brain tumor, carpal tunnel syndrome, and peripheral nervous system disorders. 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.

Diagnosis tests act as an important tool to find out the condition(s) a patient is suffering from. So, a neurosurgeon will ask you to get a few tests done so that they get to know the cause of the symptoms which further helps in finding the condition the patient is suffering from. Based on the diagnosis, the doctor can start appropriate 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:

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

For the diagnosis of neurological conditions, you need to have one or more of the following tests::

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

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