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 both in private and public hospitals. They also see patients in a clinic or surgery. They work closely with specialists and health professionals as part of a medical team, such as a critical care team or a hospital stroke team.

You may have one or more diagnostic tests so that doctors can know the cause of your condition and make effective treatment strategies. A neurological examination is the assessment of motor responses and sensory neuron and includes the following:

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

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

If you show the below symptoms, consult a neurosurgeon who will diagnose the condition and suggest the right treatment.

  1. Numbness and pain
  2. Weak grip
  3. Persistent headache/migraine
  4. Impaired movement
  5. Seizures
  6. Balance issues

Dealing with the entire nervous system, neurosurgeons treat all the parts of the body that are affected by nerve issues. They do complex surgeries on the brain. Before starting treatment, they diagnose patients' symptoms and design minimally invasive treatment plans.
