A neurosurgeon treats vascular diseases, brain and spinal cord diseases, congenital anomalies, traumas, tumors, etc. Neurosurgery is a branch of surgery that diagnoses and treats diseases of the central and peripheral nervous systems, brain and spinal cord, cerebral blood vessels, and spine. Treatment can be both non-surgical or conservative, as well as surgical. Neurosurgeons use various medications and surgical methods in therapy. To determine an accurate diagnosis, assess the course of the disease, and evaluate the results of treatment, neurosurgeons primarily use computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and angiography examinations.
