Colloid Cyst - A Benign Cyst of the Brain Colloid cysts are benign, epithelium-lined cysts that arise from the anterior part of the third ventricle of the brain. As the name suggests, these cysts contain a gelatinous or mucinous aterial within. Wallman first reported colloid cysts in 1858, and the legendary neurosurgeon Sir Walter [...]
Benign Intracranial Hypertension: A Reason for Headache in Women Benign Intracranial Hypertension (BIH), also known as Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) or Pseudotumour Cerebri, is a neurological disorder characterized by raised intracranial pressure without the presence of a tumor, hydrocephalus, or other brain diseases. This condition arises due to impaired absorption of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), [...]
Meningioma - A Benign Tumour of the Brain! Understanding Meningioma Meningiomas are tumors that arise from the meninges, the membrane that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. The term “meningioma” was coined by Harvey Cushing, an American neurosurgeon regarded as the father of modern neurological surgery. Although meningiomas typically grow within the brain, they [...]
Brain Metastasis Brain metastasis, also known as secondary brain tumors, occur when cancer cells spread from their original site to the brain. These tumors are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer patients. They are the most common type of brain tumor, accounting for slightly more than half of all brain tumors. [...]
Dementia – The Reversible Causes Dementia is a term that describes a wide range of symptoms associated with a decline in memory severe enough to reduce a person’s ability to perform daily activities. Alzheimer’s disease accounts for 60 to 80 percent of all cases. The second most common type is the overall cognitive decline [...]
Spine Fractures & Spinal Cord Injuries A developing country like India is experiencing significant industrialization and urbanization, which has led to vast changes in socioeconomic values. These rapid changes have contributed to an increase in road traffic accidents (RTAs), becoming a public hazard to millions of human lives and their safety. Injuries on the [...]
Neurological Problems Due to Hypertension Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for many neurological disorders, ranging from cerebrovascular diseases to dementia. These conditions can lead to paralysis, blindness, and even death. Neurological illnesses caused by hypertension can onset suddenly, such as a stroke, or develop more gradually, such as encephalopathy or progressive [...]
Glioma: The Common Brain Tumor Gliomas are the most common type of primary brain tumors, formed by the proliferation and accumulation of abnormal glial cells, which support nerve cells in the brain. These tumors can arise due to genetic conditions like neurofibromatosis or exposure to radiation. Gliomas are classified into astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas, and mixed [...]
Brain Aneurysm: An Intracranial Bleed A brain aneurysm is a localized dilation or ballooning of a blood vessel due to weakness in the artery supplying the brain. The most common type is the saccular aneurysm, also known as the ‘berry’ aneurysm, which is a round outpouching in the blood vessel. In some cases, there [...]
Disc Prolapse and Its Management Intervertebral disc disease is as old as humanity itself. Skeletal remains from all periods, from the era of early humans to modern times, show evidence of damage to the vertebral column and discs due to wear and tear. This high prevalence of these conditions reflects today’s longer life expectancy [...]
