Beyond tumours, neurosurgeons treat a broad range of brain conditions — traumatic head injuries, brain haemorrhages, hydrocephalus (fluid build-up), infections and cerebrovascular problems such as aneurysms. Dr. Arun Reddy M, DNB Neurosurgeon with a Fellowship in Cerebrovascular Surgery (FCVS) from Japan, provides this spectrum of care at CARE Hospitals, Gachibowli, Hyderabad.
Head injury and emergency neurosurgery
Road accidents and falls can cause bleeding around or within the brain — extradural, subdural or intracerebral haematomas. Timely evaluation with CT and, when needed, urgent surgery to evacuate the clot and relieve pressure can be life-saving. CARE Hospitals, Gachibowli provides round-the-clock emergency and intensive care support.
Cerebrovascular conditions
Conditions affecting the brain's blood vessels — aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations and spontaneous brain haemorrhage — need specialised assessment. Dr. Reddy's fellowship training in cerebrovascular surgery in Japan focused on the microsurgical management of precisely these conditions. Treatment may be surgical, endovascular or conservative depending on the individual case.
Hydrocephalus and shunt surgery
Hydrocephalus is an abnormal build-up of cerebrospinal fluid causing raised pressure — presenting as headaches and vomiting in adults, or an enlarging head in infants. Treatment options include ventriculo-peritoneal shunting and, in suitable cases, endoscopic third ventriculostomy, which creates an internal drainage pathway without a permanent implant.
An honest, protocol-driven approach
Not every brain condition needs an operation. Many haemorrhages are managed medically; many incidental findings simply need monitoring. Every recommendation is based on established neurosurgical protocols and imaging evidence, and every option — including not operating — is explained clearly to the patient and family.
