FAQ's Related to Neurosurgeon

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 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.

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

  • Lumbar Puncture
  • Nerve conduction velocity studies/electromyography
  • Spinal MRI
  • Spinal X-ray
  • Physical Exam
  • CT Brain
  • MRI Brain

  3. CT Scans
  4. Lumbar Puncture
  5. MRI Scans
  6. X-ray Imaging
