A brain tumor also known as an intracranial tumor, is an abnormal mass of cells in the brain that reproduce in an uncontrollable way. There are two main groups of brain tumors namely primary and metastatic.
At Clemenceau Medical Center Hospital, our Neurosurgery Division is staffed by a team of highly experienced and skilled neurosurgeons who are experts in a wide range of brain conditions
Brain cancer is a serious condition that can be life-threatening. Malignant brain tumors are those that can spread to other parts of the body. Surgery is often the first line of treatment for brain cancer, and it can be used to remove the tumor and some of the surrounding healthy tissue.
A craniotomy is a surgical procedure in which a piece of the skull is removed to access the brain. It is a common procedure used to treat a variety of brain disorders, including brain tumors, aneurysms, and hydrocephalus.
Endoscopic skull base surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera and light at the end to view the inside of the skull base. This type of surgery is often used to treat tumors and other conditions that affect the skull base, the area at the base of the skull where the brain, spinal cord, and other important structures meet
A brain cyst is a fluid-filled sac that can develop in the brain. Brain cysts can be congenital, meaning they are present at birth, or they can develop later in life. Brain cysts can be caused by a variety of things, including infections, injuries, and tumors.
Awake brain surgery is a type of surgery in which the patient is awake and alert during the procedure. This allows the surgeon to map out the patient’s brain function and avoid damaging any important areas. Awake brain surgery is typically used to treat tumors or other lesions that are located in areas of the brain that control speech, movement, or other important functions.
Hydrocephalus is a condition in which there is an excessive amount of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain. CSF is a clear fluid that surrounds and protects the brain and spinal cord. Normally, CSF is produced and absorbed by the brain at a steady rate. However, in people with hydrocephalus, the production or absorption of CSF is disrupted, which leads to an increase in the amount of CSF in the brain. This can cause increased pressure inside the skull, which can damage brain tissue.
