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 in different settings like private clinics and public or private hospitals. They often collaborate with other specialists and medical professionals as per the requirement of surgery. They also evaluate the condition of the patient before performing surgery in order to find the complications of the surgery, if any.

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:

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

Some of the diagnostic tests required before and during a consultation with a neurosurgeon are::

  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
  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.
