FAQ's Related to Neurosurgeon

What does a Neurosurgeon do?

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 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

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 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:

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

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
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.
