FAQ's Related to Neurosurgeon

What does a Neurosurgeon do?

Neurosurgeons provide surgical treatment for the conditions of the brain and spine. 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 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.

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 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:

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

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

Cerebral Angiogram
CT Myelogram
CT Scans
Lumbar Puncture
MRI Scans
X-ray Imaging
Electroencephalogram
Electromyogram
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:

Numbness and pain
Weak grip
Persistent headache/migraine
Impaired movement
Seizures
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.
