We treat a wide range of neurological conditions, including:

• Brain or spine injury
• Stroke
• Intracerebral hemorrhage
• Cerebral aneurysm or (AVM)
• Herniated disc

Early recognition of neurological symptoms is crucial for timely treatment and better outcomes. Our neurosurgeons recommend consultation if you experience any of the following:

• Persistent or severe headaches that do not respond to standard treatment
• Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms, legs, or face
• Loss of balance, coordination, or frequent falls

Recognising these symptoms early allows our specialists to provide prompt evaluation and personalised treatment plans, ensuring the best possible care for your brain and spine health.

The following are the different diagnostic procedures that may be required to diagnose neurological conditions:

• Blood test
• Imaging tests such as X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) scan, MRA, CTA
• Lumbar puncture

Types of Neurosurgery Procedures

1. Vascular neurosurgery: This involves the treatment of blood vessels in the brain and spine.
2. Neuro-oncology: This involves the management of brain and spinal cord tumors.
3. Skull base surgery: These surgeries focus on removing tumors at the skull's base. These are sometimes done endoscopically and are minimally invasive.
4. Spinal neurosurgery: The surgery is done to treat disorders or injuries to the spine.
5. Pediatric neurosurgery: These are neurological surgeries that involve the specialised input of a pediatric neurosurgeon.
