FAQ's Related to Neurosurgeon

What does a Neurosurgeon do?

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.

What are the tests required before and during consultation for Neurosurgeon

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 examination is the assessment of motor responses and sensory neuron and includes the following:

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

Below are some tests that a neurosurgeon may recommend for the diagnosis of the conditions of the nervous system.:

  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
When should you go to see a neurosurgeon?

Here are some of the top signs that suggest you should consult a neurosurgeon:

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

The nervous system is a complex part of the body, so neurosurgeons perform complicated surgeries. They address the issues of the entire nervous system and offer treatment of every part of the body affected by the nerves. They also help in the diagnosis of symptoms of the nervous system and come up with minimally invasive treatment plans.
