Neck and Back Pain
What is Neck & Back Pain?
Neck and back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical help or miss out on daily activities in life. The pain can range from a muscle ache to pain that radiates down the limbs.
Brain Aneurysm
What is Brain Aneurysm?
A brain aneurysm is a weak or thin spot on a blood vessel in the brain that balloons out and fills with blood. This bulging of the blood vessel can put pressure on the surrounding brain tissue and nerves, potentially leading to various neurological complications. Aneurysms can develop anywhere in the brain and can vary in size and severity. While some aneurysms may remain stable and cause no symptoms, others can rupture, leading to a life-threatening condition known as a subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Brain Tumour
What is Brain Tumour?
A brain tumour is a mass or abnormal growth of cells in the brain. These tumours can be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Brain tumours can originate in the brain itself (primary tumours) or spread to the brain from other parts of the body (metastatic tumours). There are various types of primary brain tumours, including gliomas, meningiomas, pituitary tumours, and medulloblastomas, each with different characteristics and treatment approaches.
Degenerative Spine Condition
What is Degenerative Spine Condition?
Degenerative spine conditions refer to disorders that involve gradual spine deterioration, often resulting from wear and tear over time. These conditions can affect the intervertebral discs, facet joints, and other structures in the spine, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Head Trauma
What is Head Trauma?
Head trauma is any injury to the skull, scalp, or brain, as a result of various incidents, such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, or physical assaults. Head trauma can range from mild concussions to severe traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), depending on the force and impact involved.
Hydrocephalus
What is Hydrocephalus?
Hydrocephalus is a neurological condition characterised by Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) accumulation within the brain, leading to an increase in intracranial pressure. This build-up of fluid can result from an imbalance between the production and absorption of CSF or an obstruction within the brain’s ventricular system.
Skull Base Tumour (Pituitary Tumour)
What is
Skull Base
Tumour?
A skull base tumour is an abnormal growth that occurs at the bottom of the skull, near the brain and the top of the spinal column. These tumours can develop from various structures in the skull base, including the bones, nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues. Skull base tumours can be benign or malignant, and can affect critical functions such as vision, hearing, and balance, depending on their location and size. Examples of such tumours include pituitary tumour, meningioma and acoustic neuroma (also known as vestibular schwannoma).
Spine Tumour
What is Spine Tumour?
A spine tumour is an abnormal growth of cells within the spinal column or the surrounding structures. Spine tumours can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), and can affect various parts of the spine, including the vertebral bones, spinal cord, nerve roots, and surrounding tissues. There are two types of spine tumour: Primary and secondary tumour.
1. Primary Tumour: Originates from the spine
2. Secondary Tumour: Spreads to the spine from other parts of the body (secondary or metastatic tumours)
Stroke
What is Stroke?
A stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is disrupted due to a blockage or the rupture of a blood vessel. When the brain is deprived of oxygen and nutrients, brain cells can die within minutes, leading to potentially severe and lasting damage. Strokes are broadly categorised into two types:
1. Ischemic stroke
2. Haemorrhagic stroke
Trigeminal neuralgia
/Hemifacial Spasm
What is
Trigeminal neuralgia
/Hemifacial Spasm?
Trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm are both neurological conditions that affect the face and can cause significant discomfort and pain.
