Brain, spine &
neurovascular care.

01 / BRAIN TUMOURS

Brain tumours

Gliomas · Meningiomas · Pituitary tumours · Acoustic neuromas

Brain tumours differ in their cell type, location and behaviour. Some begin in or around the brain; others spread from a cancer elsewhere in the body. Both cancerous and non-cancerous growths can affect nearby structures.

A treatment discussion may include monitoring, tissue sampling, surgery, radiotherapy or medicines, depending on the diagnosis. The aim is to balance treatment of the tumour with preservation of neurological function.

A useful question “What is known from my scan, and what might require a tissue diagnosis?”

02 / NEUROVASCULAR CARE

Brain aneurysms & vascular conditions

Cerebral aneurysms · Vascular malformations · Stroke-related surgical evaluation

An aneurysm is a weakened, bulging area of a blood vessel. An unruptured aneurysm and one that has bled need different assessments. Treatment decisions consider the aneurysm’s features and the person’s overall health.

Options can include follow-up imaging, microsurgical clipping or treatment through the blood vessels. A recommendation requires review of the relevant scans and individual risks.

A useful question “Why is monitoring or a particular treatment being recommended in my case?”

03 / SPINE & SPINAL CORD

Spinal disorders

Disc prolapse (slipped disc) · Spinal stenosis · Cervical myelopathy · Spinal tumours and injury

A disc problem or narrowing around a nerve can cause pain, tingling or weakness. Sciatica affects the nerve travelling into the leg; treatment can include activity advice, medicines or physiotherapy, with specialist procedures considered in selected cases.

Pressure on the spinal cord in the neck is a different concern from uncomplicated back pain. Hand clumsiness, weakness or a change in walking should be described clearly during assessment.

A useful question “Which findings explain my symptoms, and what is the goal of treatment?”

04 / CEREBROSPINAL FLUID

Hydrocephalus

Assessment in children and adults

Hydrocephalus is a build-up of the fluid that normally circulates around the brain and spinal cord. It can occur at different ages and needs assessment to identify its cause and effects.

Treatment may involve a shunt to divert fluid or, for suitable cases, an endoscopic procedure. The choice and follow-up depend on the type of hydrocephalus.

A useful question “Which treatment is suitable, and what ongoing follow-up will be needed?”

05 / FACIAL PAIN & NERVES

Selected nerve conditions

Trigeminal neuralgia · Peripheral nerve disorders

For trigeminal neuralgia, medicines are commonly considered first. Specialist procedures may be discussed when pain control is inadequate or side effects are troublesome.

Describe the pain pattern and bring details of medicines already tried, including their benefit and side effects. Ask the clinic whether your facial pain or peripheral nerve problem is within the scope of the appointment.

A useful question “What alternatives are available, and what are the trade-offs for each option?”

06 / INJURY & OTHER CONDITIONS

Head injury & other referrals

Head and spinal injuries · Paediatric neurosurgical assessment

The practice also describes assessment of head and spinal injuries and paediatric neurosurgical conditions. For a planned review, bring the initial hospital notes, imaging and discharge advice.

For an acute injury or sudden deterioration, seek emergency care. Routine appointment requests are unsuitable for urgent assessment.

A useful question “What information does the clinic need to confirm the right appointment?”
