Brain Surgery

Brain surgery is also a common task performed by a neurological surgeon.  While not the primary focus of the practice, providing state-of-the-art brain surgery for a variety of conditions is a regular part of Modern Spine and a critical resource for patients in the community in need.

Some brain surgery will require referral to subspecialty neurological surgeons like patients that have large aneurysms, skull base tumors, or rare pathologies not commonly treated in community centers.

The brain conditions most commonly treated at Modern Spine are:

• Subdural hematoma (WebMD External Link)
• Epidural hematoma (MedlinePlus External Link)
• Intraparenchymal hematoma (AANS External Link)
• Stroke (AANS External Link)
• Increased intracranial pressure (MedlinePlus External Link)
• Benign brain tumors (WebMD External Link)
• Malignant brain tumors (AANS External Link)
