Brain & Neurosurgery Evaluation

For brain tumors, hydrocephalus, facial pain and aneurysm — diagnosis, surgical candidacy and a treatment plan, with a careful, case-specific approach.

Send your MRI / CT and we will review your situation and options together — a second opinion is welcome.

What we evaluate

Neurosurgery is a broad field. The topics below are the most common reasons for evaluation; the right treatment path is decided individually for each patient.

Brain tumors

For masses such as meningioma, glioma or brain metastasis, diagnosis, surgical candidacy and follow-up are assessed case by case.

Hydrocephalus

In cerebrospinal fluid circulation disorders, shunt or endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) options are discussed based on clinical findings.

Trigeminal neuralgia & facial pain

For persistent facial pain, the suitability of microvascular decompression (MVD) and radiofrequency (RFT) is reviewed together.

When an evaluation may help

A brain tumor or mass seen on MRI or CT, and wanting to know whether surgery is needed
A diagnosis of hydrocephalus and seeking evaluation for a shunt or ETV
Trigeminal neuralgia or ongoing facial pain, seeking a surgical opinion
Previously operated and seeking a re-assessment or a second opinion

Not every case needs surgery

Some findings are followed with periodic imaging, while others may be addressed without surgery. When surgery is appropriate, modern techniques — microsurgery, neuronavigation and endoscopic or functional approaches — are used to plan the least invasive route suitable for the case. The right path is decided together, weighing risks and benefits for each individual. This page is for general information and does not replace a medical consultation.
