Common conditions

Within neurosurgery, patients may be assessed for conditions that can include:

• Herniated disc (slipped disc) in the lumbar or cervical spine
• Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
• Degenerative spine conditions, including spondylosis and spondylolisthesis
• Brain tumours requiring neurosurgical assessment
• Hydrocephalus (excess fluid in the brain)
• Head injuries, from mild concussion to more severe traumatic brain injury
• Spinal cord conditions and spinal cord compression
• Nerve compression, including carpal tunnel syndrome where neurosurgical input is needed

Treatment and care areas

The specialty commonly involves treatment approaches that, depending on the diagnosis, may include:

• Neurosurgical evaluation and assessment, including review of imaging
• Conservative management with medication, physiotherapy and monitoring
• Pain management strategies for spinal conditions
• Surgical treatment where the diagnosis calls for it
• Non-surgical advice when an operation is not required or not the best option
• Postoperative follow-up and rehabilitation referral

When patients may seek assessment

Patients may seek assessment after a head or spine injury, for persistent back or neck problems with nerve symptoms such as arm or leg pain, numbness or weakness, or when another doctor recommends a neurosurgical opinion. Persistent headaches with neurological features, difficulty walking, or loss of bladder or bowel control should be assessed promptly. Depending on the diagnosis, imaging is usually reviewed as part of the assessment.
