The conditions most commonly treated by the neurosurgeon are diverse and can be vascular disorders, strokes, diseases of the nervous system such as Parkinson’s, epilepsy, hydrocephalus, infections of the brain or spine, aneurysms, carpal tunnel syndrome, and tumors of the central nervous system, peripheral nerves, or skull.
Typically, the patient is referred for a neurosurgical examination by other doctors to determine whether the neurological problem requires surgery.
