Below you can see a list of neurosurgery treated conditions and diseases which can be treated by neurosurgery treatment.
Acoustic Neuroma: a benign tumor growing from Schwann cells of vestibular nerves. Its other name: vestibular schwannoma. This growth commonly causes progressive loss of hearing, balance problems and ringing in the ear. All those are neurosurgery treated conditions and often require surgical excision.
Aneurysm: a weakness of blood vessels that leads to bleeding in the brain.
Arachnoiditis: a complication from the arachnoid pia inflammation. The arachnoid is a thin film-like cover of the spinal cord and the brain. It can be healed by neurosurgery treatment, anti-inflammatory medication and sometimes by electric stimulation.
Astrocytoma: a tumor in the nervous system that grows from astrocytes (a type of glial cell, which are the supportive cells in the nervous system). That can occur in infant, young adult age and sometimes in older age. Treatment usually consists of neurosurgery treatment, radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy
Ataxia: a coordinative abnormality which particularly affects walking; step is often very unsteady. It is one of neurosurgery treated conditions, so neurosurgery treatment may be required.
Brain Contusion: a bruise-like injury in the brain. This usually happens in head traumas but can also happen after another kind of trauma. Contusions can lead to neurologic focal deficit. If the bruise grows bigger, a hemorrhage can cause the patient's decline and thus require removal.
Brain Metastasis: a tumor that spreads from one body part to another. The commonest metastasis brain tumors are results of lung, breast, skin, kidney cancer, or a gastrointestinal tract tumor. They lead to neurosurgery treated conditions: headaches, seizures or neurologic deficits. Usually treatment contains tumor irradiation, surgical removal or corticosteroid therapy, each alone or combined.
Brain Tumor: a tumor commonly described as a "new growth" of cells which already exist in a certain body part. Many various tumors can appear in the nervous system. They cause seizures, headaches, or neurological deficits. Tumors can be benign or malignant. A malignant tumor is referred to as cancer. Tumor treatment can consist of surgical removal, radiation approach or drug treatment approach (also known as "chemotherapy"). Other tumors are treated with the body's immune system modification (or "immunotherapy").
Carpal Tunnel: the median nerve compression in the wrist. This leads to numbness in the thumb, fingers or the entire hand, that being one of neurosurgery treated conditions.
Cerebral Palsy: spectrum of a congenital brain injury or development problems. It may also happen after a brain hemorrhage. Cerebral palsy causes problems with control of the arms and/or legs which leads to chronic spasticity.
Chorea: involuntary rapid, brief, abrupt and unsustained movement. It is also described as dance-like. Chorea happens in 5% of patients with cerebral palsy.
Coma: arousal that frequently happens after head injury or disease. Comatose patients aren't aware of their surroundings, and they don't interact with other people at a standard level
Cysts: collection of liquid within a cavity. Cysts come from tumors, after injuries, head and spinal traumas, bleeding in the brain, or as growing fluid-filled spaces. Spinal cysts can cause back pain. If cysts are symptomatic, they can be healed by neurosurgery treatment.
