Treatment
Neurology is the medical speciality that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of all categories of disease involving the central, peripheral, and autonomous nervous system, including their coverings, blood vessels, and all effector tissues, such as muscles. Neurological disorders are disorders that affect the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord), the peripheral nervous system, or the autonomous nervous system. Conditions treated by neurosurgeons include:
- Spinal disc herniation
- Spinal stenosis
- Hydrocephalus
- Head trauma (brain haemorrhages, skull fractures etc.)
- Spinal cord trauma
- Traumatic injuries to peripheral nerves
- Brain tumours
- Infections and infestations
