At the beginning of your consultation, it is important to describe your symptoms in your own words so that your doctor can fully understand your condition.
After reviewing your medical history and conducting a clinical examination, your doctor will assess any relevant imaging studies and provide a summary along with potential diagnostic hypotheses. If your symptoms are linked to a neurosurgical condition, this will inform the development of an appropriate management plan.
Possible outcomes of the consultation include:
The difference is that neurosurgeons treat conditions that may require surgery, whereas neurologists manage diseases that do not require surgery but need medical treatment, such as Parkinson’s disease.
Yes, all neurosurgical procedures are reimbursed. Depending on your insurance contract (LaMal, LCA, others), reimbursement terms may vary. If in doubt, contact your insurance company.
No. The decision is entirely yours. However, it is always important to weigh the potential benefits against the risks.
Neurosurgeons specialise in treating disorders of the skull, spine, herniated discs, brain tumours (neuro-oncology), aneurysms, head injuries, malformations, brain and spinal cord lesions, and deformities. They have the expertise to diagnose and manage these conditions, providing specialised care to patients who may require surgical intervention in a neurosurgery unit.
