Keyhole surgery

Keyhole surgery, also known as minimally invasive or endoscopic surgery, is a surgical technique used to access and treat various medical conditions through small incisions rather than large traditional openings.

Shunt for hydrocephalus

A shunt procedure for hydrocephalus is a surgical treatment commonly used to manage this neurological condition. Shunt surgery aims to alleviate this excess fluid buildup by redirecting CSF from the brain to another part of the body where it can be reabsorbed.

...

ETV

ETV typically stands for Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy, which is a surgical procedure used in neurosurgery, not neurology.

...

EVD

EVD in the context of neurology typically refers to External Ventricular Drainage, which is a medical procedure used to relieve increased intracranial pressure (ICP) in patients with neurological conditions or traumatic brain injuries

...

Cerebellar tumours

Cerebellar tumours are growths that develop in the cerebellum, a region located at the back of the brain responsible for coordinating movements, maintaining balance, and regulating posture.

...

Cerebellopontine angle tumor

A cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumour is a type of brain tumour that develops in the area where the cerebellum and the pons meet, known as the cerebellopontine angle. This region is located near the base of the skull, behind the ear. It includes several important structures, including cranial nerves responsible for functions such as hearing, balance, and facial movement.

...

Brain stem tumour

A brain stem tumour is a rare and potentially serious medical condition that occurs when abnormal cells grow in or around the brain stem, which is the lower part of the brain that connects to the spinal cord. The brain stem is responsible for regulating essential functions such as breathing, heartbeat, blood pressure, and basic motor functions.  

...

Skull-based tumours

Skull-based tumours are abnormal growths that develop in or around the skull base, which is the complex region at the bottom of the skull that forms the floor of the cranial cavity and separates the brain from the structures of the face and neck.

...

Spinal Cord tumour

A spinal cord tumour is an abnormal growth of cells within or near the spinal cord, which is a crucial part of the central nervous system responsible for transmitting signals between the brain and the rest of the body.

...

Intracranial hematomas

Intracranial hematomas are a medical condition involving the accumulation of blood within the cranial cavity (skull) but outside the blood vessels. Neurosurgical procedures are often required to address intracranial hematomas.

...

Intracranial aneurysm

An intracranial aneurysm, often referred to as a cerebral or brain aneurysm, is a potentially life-threatening medical condition involving a weakened or bulging area in the wall of a blood vessel within the brain.

...

Cerebrospinal fluid Rhinorrhea

CSF rhinorrhea is cerebrospinal fluid leakage from the nose. It can occur due to head trauma, skull base or sinus surgeries, and medical conditions that weaken the protective membrane around the brain and spinal cord.

...

Cranioplasty

Cranioplasty is a surgical procedure in the field of neurology and neurosurgery that involves the repair or reconstruction of the skull.

...

Decompressive Craniotomy

Decompressive craniotomy is a surgical procedure performed in neurology to treat severe brain strokes and reduce intracranial pressure (ICP) when other conservative treatments are ineffective. It involves the removal of a portion of the skull (craniotomy) to relieve pressure on the brain.

...

Craniotomy

Craniotomy is a surgical procedure used in neurology to treat various conditions, including subdural hematomas and epidural hematomas. These conditions involve the accumulation of blood in different spaces around the brain, requiring surgical intervention to alleviate pressure and prevent further damage.

...

Brain Abscess

A brain abscess is a serious and potentially life-threatening neurological condition that requires prompt medical attention and treatment. It is a collection of pus, bacteria, and other infected material that forms within the brain tissue.

...

Arteriovenous Malformation

An Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) of the brain is a vascular anomaly characterised by an abnormal tangle of blood vessels in the brain. AVMs can occur anywhere in the brain and can vary in size and complexity. They are typically present from birth but may not cause symptoms until later in life.

...

Cervical Disc Prolapse

Cervical disc prolapse, also known as cervical disc herniation or herniated cervical disc, is a medical condition that involves the displacement of one or more intervertebral discs in the cervical spine (neck region). These discs are the soft, cushion-like structures that separate the vertebrae in the spine, providing flexibility, shock absorption, and support to the neck.

...

Cervical canal stenosis

Cervical canal stenosis is a medical condition primarily affecting the spinal canal in the neck region (cervical spine).

...

Dorsal spine surgery

Dorsal spine surgery, also known as thoracic spine surgery, is a procedure performed to address various conditions affecting the thoracic (upper and mid-back) region of the spine. This surgery is used for different conditions: Canal Stenosis, Tumors, and Ligament Flavum Hypertrophy.

...

Spinal trauma surgery

Spinal trauma surgery, also known as spine surgery for traumatic injuries, is a neurosurgical procedure performed to treat injuries or damage to the spinal cord, vertebrae, or surrounding structures resulting from accidents, falls, sports injuries, or other traumatic events.

...

Minimal Invasive Spine Surgery

Minimal invasive spine surgery (MISS), or endoscopic spine surgery, is a modern neurosurgical procedure to treat various spinal conditions with minimal disruption to the surrounding tissues. It involves using specialised tools and advanced imaging techniques to access and address spinal problems through small incisions rather than traditional open surgery.

...

CV Junction Surgery

CV junction surgery, also known as craniovertebral junction surgery, is a neurosurgical procedure performed to address issues or abnormalities in the region where the skull (cranium) and the upper part of the spinal column (vertebrae) meet. This region is critical for protecting and supporting the brainstem and spinal cord.

...

Spinal Trauma

Spinal trauma refers to injuries that affect the spinal cord, vertebrae, or the surrounding spine structures.

...

Epilepsy surgery

Epilepsy surgery is a neurosurgical procedure performed to treat epilepsy, a neurological disorder characterised by recurrent seizures.

...

Vertebroplasty

Vertebroplasty is a procedure used to treat osteoporotic spine fractures and certain other vertebral compression fractures.  

...

Extracranial hematoma

Extracranial hematoma refers to bleeding that occurs outside the skull. Hematomas are blood collections that can accumulate in tissues or organs due to trauma or injury. Extracranial hematomas are usually caused by trauma, such as falls, vehicle accidents, or sports injuries.
