Brain Tumor

Picture of Brain Tumor

A brain tumor is the growth of abnormal cells in the brain. When most normal cells grow old or get damaged, they die, and new cells take their place. Sometimes, this process goes wrong. New cells form when the body does not need them, and old or damaged cells do not die as they should. The buildup of extra cells often forms a mass of tissue called a growth or tumor.

Spinal Cord Tumors

Picture of Spinal Cord Tumors

Spinal cord tumors are abnormal growths of tissue that develop within or surrounding the spinal cord. They can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and may originate in the spinal cord itself (primary tumors) or spread from other parts of the body (secondary or metastatic tumors).

Hydrocephalus

Picture of Hydrocephalus

Hydrocephalus is a condition characterized by excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in and around the brain, which causes swelling of the brain and affects normal brain function. CSF is the fluid that surrounds the brain and the spinal cord. It is produced by hollow spaces inside the brain called ventricles.

Peripheral Nerve Conditions

Picture of Peripheral Nerve Conditions

Peripheral nerve conditions are disorders caused by malfunctioning of the nerves due to peripheral nerve damage or destruction. The peripheral nervous system sends signals from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of your body. Any disruption in the normal functioning of the peripheral nervous system can result in numbness, pain, and weakness...

Brain Bleeds

Picture of Brain Bleeds

A brain bleed, also known as intracranial hemorrhage, is a type of bleeding that occurs inside the skull. It can happen within the brain tissue itself (intracerebral hemorrhage) or in the surrounding spaces, such as between the brain and skull (subdural, epidural, or subarachnoid hemorrhages).
