A neurosurgeon is a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and surgical treatments of conditions of the central as well as the peripheral nervous system. A neurosurgeon completes special training after becoming a doctor, including one year of residency in general surgery and a few more years of residency in neurosurgery. Some neurosurgeons complete fellowship training, which is additional training to further enhance their focus within the field of 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. For a complete evaluation of your condition, you have to undergo neurological examination which may include the following:

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

  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

Here are some of the common signs that you must seek the medical assistance of a neurosurgeon:

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