As a neurosurgeon, While my passion for peripheral nerve surgery drives much of my work, I’m equally committed to providing care for brain-related conditions.
What Conditions Might Require Brain Surgery?
Here are some of the neurosurgical conditions I frequently treat:
- Brain Trauma
- Injuries like fractures, contusions, or intracranial bleeding caused by accidents or falls.
- Immediate intervention can save lives and prevent further damage.
- Intracerebral Hemorrhage
- Bleeding inside the brain due to conditions like hypertension, aneurysms, or trauma.
- Surgery can remove the clot, relieve intracranial pressure, and stabilize the patient.
- Brain Tumors
- Includes benign and malignant tumors.
- Surgery aims to remove the tumor, relieve symptoms like headaches or seizures, and improve neurological function.
- Hydrocephalus
- A condition caused by excessive fluid in the brain, leading to pressure buildup.
- Treatments include shunt placement or endoscopic procedures to restore normal fluid flow.
- Aneurysms and Vascular Malformations
- Bulging blood vessels or abnormal connections between arteries and veins in the brain.
- Procedures like clipping or coiling can prevent life-threatening ruptures.
