Diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders of the
nervous system is taken care by this arm of the Medical
Sciences. With two parts: the central nervous system (brain
and the spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system
(outside brain and the spinal cord) Nervous system is to
delicate and very complex in that they can send and receive
vast amounts of information simultaneously. However, the
system is also delicate to disease and injuries. Brain and
Spinal cord can be affected by bacteria or viruses resulting
in infection thus causing Encephalitis or meningitis. One of
the main causes of Alzheimers or Parkinsons can be
degeneration of Nerves. Blocked blood supply to the brain can
cause a stroke. Also, injuries or tumors can cause structural
damage to the brain or spinal cord.
Tumors of the brain and spine may be malignant (cancerous) or
anti neoplastic (non cancerous). No one really knows the
origin of these tumors but it is known that brain tumors are
more common and seem to have equal occurrence in men and
women. Quality of life is diminished through neurological
deficits with these tumors.
The inner portion of the disc is soft and spongy and enables
it to function as a shock absorber. Over time the
intervertebral discs degenerate, losing their water content
and ability to absorb shock with movement. Excessive pressure,
strain or injury to a rigid disc can cause the disc to tear
and bulge. This causes the discs to come closer together and
compress the spinal nerve roots, causing pain, numbness and
decreased mobility.
Microsurgical Instrumentation using the least invasive
technique to accurately excise tumors of the brain and spine
has been particularly successful in lumbar discectomy (disc
removal from the lower spine).
Microsurgery (dissection of minute structures under microscope
by hand held instruments) can be successfully done for lumbar
or anterior cervical discectomy or decompression. Total disc
replacement surgery is also available when the degeneration of
the disc or discs is so far advanced.
Highly sophisticated, computer driven technology is used for
its precision in removing appropriately selected tumors of the
brain and spine, arteriovenous malformations, and other
abnormalities.
