The brain and neurosurgery unit deals with the treatment of diseases in the area covering the nervous system of the body, including the brain, and various disorders that develop due to damage in this area. The brain and nerve surgery unit provides services in various disease groups such as tumor and vascular diseases, traumas occurring in the brain and nervous system, spinal diseases. Below, the diseases that the brain and neurosurgery unit deals with are classified and discussed in detail.
1. Cerebral Hemorrhages
Cerebral hemorrhage is a disease that occurs as a result of rupture of the artery wall in the brain and blood leaking into the brain tissue leads to tissue damage in this area. Any accident, impact, injury, etc. cerebral hemorrhages, which can occur depending on the circumstances or spontaneously, are a disease that requires immediate intervention. The intervention of the brain and neurosurgery unit of hospitals or other medical institutions is usually required to treat cases of brain hemorrhages that require surgery.
2. Brain Tumors
A tumor is a mass that can occur in various parts of the body, whether it is benign or malignant. Malignant tumors are known as ”cancer". Tumors that form in the brain cause a person to have “nausea, vomiting, balance problems, forgetfulness, fainting, visual disturbances (double vision, etc.), causing symptoms such as ”numbness in the arms and legs", and these symptoms negatively affect the quality of life of people. People who experience these complaints should contact the neurosurgery unit.
3. Vascular Diseases of the Brain
Vascular diseases of the brain include diseases such as stroke, herniated disc of the waist and neck, Parkinson's. These diseases can lead to the fact that people have problems such as paralysis, impaired consciousness, visual and speech disorders, balance disorders. For this reason, people who experience such symptoms should immediately contact the neurosurgery unit. Below are listed other diseases that are examined in the category of vascular diseases of the brain, and therefore are also of interest to the brain and neurosurgery unit:
Cerebral hemorrhage that occurs in the brain membrane or tissue
Arteriovenous Malformation
Hernia of the Neck and Waist
Spinal Cord Tumors
Brain Tumors
Carotid Stenosis
Parkinson's
Stroke and stroke that occur due to blockage of brain vessels
4. Spinal Disorders
Spinal diseases that can occur depending on age can also be experienced as a result of a trauma such as any accident, blow, or injury. Cases of joint- november pains, curvature, tumors, lesions, humpback (kyphosis), scoliosis and infections that develop in the spine area are included in this group. This type of disease causes chronic pain, numbness, and can negatively affect people's ability to move.
5. Landing
A stroke is a condition in which symptoms such as “weakness in the arms and legs, severe and sudden headache, loss of balance, difficulty speaking and understanding” occur in the body as a result of stopping the flow of blood to the brain. A stroke, which is an extremely serious disease that can lead to death, is a disease whose treatment should not be delayed.
6. Various Traumas
Injuries caused by factors such as falls, injuries, accidents, gunshot wounds, sports activities are called trauma. Urgent intervention is required for injuries that occur in the spine and head area of the body. The brain and neurosurgery unit plays an important role in the treatment of these conditions.
