Conditions treated.

A brain tumor is an abnormal growth of cells within or around the brain. Not all brain tumors are the same—there are many different types, and they can behave very differently.

A meningioma is a tumor that arises from the meninges, the thin protective layers covering the brain and spinal cord.

A glioma is a type of brain tumor that arises from the brain tissue itself, specifically from supportive cells called glial cells.

A brain metastasis is a tumor in the brain that has spread from cancer elsewhere in the body.

A pituitary tumor is a growth that arises from the pituitary gland, a small but critical structure at the base of the brain that regulates the body’s hormone (endocrine) system.

A colloid cyst is a benign (non-cancerous) fluid-filled sac that typically arises in a very central part of the brain called the third ventricle.

Vascular neurosurgery is a specialized field focused on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the blood vessels of the brain and spinal cord.

A cerebral aneurysm is a weakened, bulging area in the wall of an artery in the brain. Over time, this weakened portion of the blood vessel can balloon outward.

An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an abnormal connection between arteries and veins in the brain.

Moyamoya disease is a condition in which the major arteries at the base of the brain become progressively narrowed or blocked, reducing normal blood flow to the brain.

Styloidogenic jugular vein compression syndrome is a relatively new and somewhat controversial condition involving compression of the internal jugular vein, one of the primary pathways for blood drainage from the brain.

Trigeminal neuralgia is a condition that causes severe, sharp facial pain along the distribution of the trigeminal nerve, which provides sensation to the face.

A Chiari malformation is a condition in which a portion of the brain called the cerebellar tonsils extends downward into the upper spinal canal.

Hydrocephalus is a condition in which there is an abnormal buildup of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the brain’s ventricles (fluid-filled spaces).

Degenerative spine disease refers to the natural aging process of the spine, where the structures of the spine gradually wear down over time.

A herniated disc occurs when one of the cushioning discs between the bones of the spine (vertebrae) bulges or ruptures, allowing the inner material to press on nearby nerves.

Spinal stenosis is a condition in which the space within the spinal canal narrows, placing pressure on the spinal cord and/or nearby nerves.

Foraminal stenosis refers to narrowing of the neural foramen—the small openings on each side of the spine where nerves exit the spinal canal.

Spondylolisthesis refers to a condition in which one vertebra slips forward relative to the one below it.

Cervical myelopathy is a condition caused by compression of the spinal cord in the neck (cervical spine).

Adjacent level disease (ALD) refers to degeneration that develops at the levels next to a prior spinal fusion.
