Neuroscience

Today, many forms of neurosurgery can be performed with the tiniest  of incisions, using endoscopic techniques to obliterate tumors and treat vascular anomalies - often resulting in faster recoveries and a lower risk of complications for patients.

In Clinical Terms

The neuroscience division at Virginia Hospital Center relies on advanced diagnostic and operative technologies for the treatment of a broad range of medical problems, including:

  • Neuro-Trauma—brain trauma, spinal cord trauma, neurovascular trauma
  • Neuro-Vascular disorders—stroke, aneurysm, carotid artery blockage, arteriovenous malformation (AVM), arteriovenous fistula (AVF)
  • Neurological cancers—brain tumor, head and neck cancer, spinal tumor
  • Neuromuscular disorders—myasthenia gravis, muscular dystrophy, Guillain-Barre syndrome
  • Pain syndromes—headache, chronic neck and back pain, degenerative spinal conditions
  • Hyperhydrosis—Autonomic
  • Trigeminal—face pain—only ones in Northern Virginia to treat this
  • Neuro-Degenerative disorders—Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, dementia
  • Neuro-Immunologic disorders—multiple sclerosis (MS) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
  • Seizure disorders—epilepsy and other kinds of seizures
