Brain Tumors

• Overview: Abnormal cell growths within the brain, which may be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
• Common Types: Gliomas, meningiomas, and acoustic neuromas.
• Symptoms: Headaches, seizures, muscle weakness, numbness, and changes in cognition.
• Treatment Options: Surgical removal, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.

Stroke

• Overview: Interruption of blood flow to the brain due to a blockage or rupture in blood vessels, leading to brain tissue damage.
• Types: Ischemic (caused by a clot) and hemorrhagic (caused by bleeding).
• Symptoms: Sudden weakness, numbness, vision loss, speech difficulties, and intense headaches.
• Treatment Options: Emergency interventions, thrombolytic therapy (clot-dissolving drugs), and surgical procedures like carotid endarterectomy.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

• Overview: Damage to the brain resulting from external force or trauma.
• Causes: Falls, car accidents, sports injuries, and physical assaults.
• Symptoms: Headache, confusion, dizziness, memory impairment, and mood disturbances.
• Treatment Options: Immediate medical care, surgical intervention (e.g., relieving pressure or repairing fractures), and rehabilitation.

Brain Aneurysms

• Overview: Weak, bulging areas in the walls of brain blood vessels that can rupture and cause bleeding.
• Symptoms: Often silent until rupture; symptoms of rupture include a sudden, severe headache, nausea, vomiting, and possible unconsciousness.
• Treatment Options: Surgical clipping, endovascular coiling, or stenting to prevent or control bleeding.

Hydrocephalus

• Overview: Accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain, increasing intracranial pressure.
• Symptoms: Headaches, nausea, vomiting, vision disturbances, and cognitive changes.
• Treatment Options: Surgical placement of a shunt to drain excess fluid or an endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV).

Parkinson’s Disease

• Overview: A progressive neurological disorder that impairs movement, marked by tremors, stiffness, and slowness of motion.
• Surgical Treatment: Deep brain stimulation (DBS), which involves implanting electrodes to regulate abnormal brain signals.

Epilepsy

• Overview: A neurological condition characterized by recurrent seizures, often due to genetic factors, brain injury, or infections.
• Treatment Options: Surgical removal of the seizure focus (e.g., temporal lobectomy) or implanting devices like vagus nerve stimulators to reduce seizure activity.

Neurosurgeons collaborate with neurologists, radiologists, and rehabilitation experts to ensure patients receive comprehensive, multidisciplinary care tailored to their condition.
