What can neurosurgery treat?
Neurosurgery treats a range of problems associated with the central nervous system. Generally these fall into two categories – brain, and spinal conditions: • Brain – brain tumours, haemorrhage, hydrocephalus malformations and facial pain • Spinal – neck problems, sciatica, back pain, spinal claudication, spinal stenosis and ‘slipped discs’ However, recent advances in medical science means neurosurgeons can now also treat some of the symptoms of cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s disease, and epilepsy.
