However, in some cases, these vessels form a bulb or balloon. This condition is known as a brain aneurysm. These balloons may rupture and cause a  brain hemorrhage . The patients having symptoms of a brain aneurysm should consult with  Neurosurgeon in Faridabad . What Is Brain Aneurysm?

There are two types of brain aneurysms. Saccular aneurysms:  This is the most common type of brain aneurysm. These aneurysms comprise of a neck and a d...

  What is Parkinson’s disease? According to the  best neurosurgeon in Gurgaon   Dr. Vikas Kathuria , it is a progressive disorder of the nervous system, where there is gradual degeneration of a particular part of the brain, called the substantia nigra, which contains dopaminergic cells, which are a type of neurons that release the neurotransmitter called dopamine, which helps to control movement sin your body. Therefore in  Parkinson’s disease , when these dopaminergic neurons are gradually destroyed, the dopamine levels in the body reduce and you begin to have difficulty with movements. And these symptoms gradually worsen with time. What causes Parkinson’s disease? Since  Parkinson’s disease  is a neurodegenerative disorder, there is no exact cause which has been identified, which leads to this degeneration of neurons. Factors which have been linked with increased risk of developing Parkinson’s disease are: Increased and prolonged exposure to insecticides,...

  Understanding the anatomy: The human body is structures in such a way that our back bone or vertebral column has a significant role to play in the determining how our body functions. This is because it is our vertebral column which helps us stand up straight while walking, helps us carry the weight of our head and shoulders, and helps us bend forward and so on. Therefore it plays a role in a number of functions without which we would find it almost close to impossible to function normally in our day to day lives. This is because the vertebral column helps our body with three main functions which include weight bearing, flexibility and last but not least protection of the spinal which runs through it. The vertebral column can be thought of a bony canal, the center of which is hollow and houses the spinal cord, which a continuation of the human brain. We have in total 33 different vertebrae which come together in order to make this single column, which in turn protects the spinal c...

  There are currently four different types of Deep Brain Stimulation being practiced in terms of the location where the electrodes are placed. They are: Sub thalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation  – this is thought to be the most effective in terms of the range of symptoms. It is by the most effective form for the treatment of gait and balance. Patients who undergo STN stimulation sometimes experience double vision, paresthesia, nausea, muscle contraction as well as mood changes as side effects. It is most commonly used worldwide. Globus Pallidus deep brain stimulation  - is an effective tool against the symptoms of  Parkinson’s disease . It is extremely effective against dyskinesia, which is involuntary movements or tics. But compared to STN stimulation, globus pallidus is not as potent in relieving symptoms. Thalamic deep brain stimulation  - is effective only for patients exhibiting tremors and possibly rigidity and is therefore limited in its use. Tha...

  Deep brain stimulation surgery   is the procedure for correcting movement disorders. The movement disorders are due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain tissues. This results in shaking of limbs, tremors, and difficulty in movement. Deep brain stimulation surgery helps in managing the abnormal electrical impulses in the brain. The surgery is used in preventing or reducing the symptoms of essential tremor, obsessive-compulsive disorder, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, and dystonia. Deep brain stimulation surgery is a complex surgery. The surgeon performs the surgery in two places. The surgery involves the insertion of electrodes into specific target areas of the brain. Risk Factors Of Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery Like other surgeries,  deep brain stimulation surgery  also has certain risks. These are: Bleeding Infection Clotting Seizures Nausea and vomiting Vision, speech, and balancing problems Headache Confusion Light-headedness Stroke Tag =  Deep Br...

  Introduction Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic painful condition of the facial region. It is due to trigeminal nerve compression. Patient with this condition experience throbbing and stabbing pain. Doctors diagnose the condition through neurological examination and imaging techniques. Doctors may recommend medications and surgery for managing the disease. What Is Trigeminal Neuralgia? The trigeminal nerve is the pair of nerves responsible for sensory response in the facial region. Once the trigeminal nerves leave the brain, they subdivide into three different branches. These are the ophthalmic nerve, maxillary nerve, and mandibular nerve. Patients with trigeminal neuralgia experience excruciating pain in the face. Even the slightest of pain triggers severe pain in trigeminal neuralgia. The condition is more common in the elderly. Women are at increased risk for this condition than men. What Are The Types Of Trigeminal Neuralgia? Following are the different types of trigeminal neu...

  Introduction The Brachial plexus is a network of nerves used to transmit signals from the spinal cord to the chest, shoulder, arm, forearm, and hand. The brachial plexus possesses both efferent and afferent nerves. The Brachial plexus nerve usually innervates to the upper extremities (skin, muscle of the arm). The nerves are mainly somatic nerve plexus formed by merging the anterior rami of four cranial nerve and the first thoracic nerve (C5, C6, C7, C8, T1). Brachial plexus injury refers to the interruption arises in signal conduction from the brain to the fingertips. Due to Brachial plexus injury, the patient can lose partial and complete function of the affected area. Sometimes these injuries may immediately recover. However, other times the recovery takes months or years. What Is Brachial Plexus Injury?     Brachial plexus injury involves termination of communications between the spinal cord and arm, wrist & hand, resulting in loss of partial or comple...
