Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

Actual reports may vary from case to case, but carrying the above reports, if you have, would be helpful when meeting the brain specialist:

  • Imaging reports (CT/MRIs), peripheral nerve testing (EMG), or brain wave testing (EEG)
  • Record of medical tests, results, and reports related to the condition.

  • Epilepsy neurosurgery to manage seizures
  • Chiari decompression to treat Arnold-Chiari malformation

  • Congenital Anomalies
  • Trauma
  • Tumors

The different specialists in the Neurology department may include the following:

  • Neurosurgeons provide surgical treatments to treat nervous system disorders affecting the spine, brain, hands, legs, arms, and face.
