Spinal disc herniation and stenosis
Stroke and vascular malformations (e.g., aneurysms, AVMs)
Traumatic brain and spinal injuries
Congenital anomalies and infections (e.g., hydrocephalus, tuberculomas)
Surgery may be advised when:
Non-surgical treatments have failed
The condition is life-threatening or progressive
Imaging shows structural abnormalities requiring intervention
There is a need for biopsy, decompression, or tumor removal
Common procedures include:
