Symptoms and Treatment of Neurological Disorders

Neurosurgery is a medical discipline concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of nervous system disorders. Neurosurgery is often referred to as brain surgery, however, it’s much more than just the brain. The medical specialty deals with all kinds of neurological disorders including brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and extra-cranial cerebrovascular system.

Nervous system

The nervous system is a highly complex, specialized network inside human body that organizes, elucidates, and directs human interactions with the world outside. The nervous system is primarily responsible for functions like:

• Five senses of seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling, and feeling
• Besides regulating things like blood flow and blood pressure, nervous system is also responsible for voluntary and involuntary functions, such as movement, balance, and coordination.
• The ability to think and reason.

The nervous system is divided into the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system, or CNS) and the nerve cells that control voluntary and involuntary movements (peripheral nervous system, or PNS).

Neurosurgeons treat patients suffering from back and neck pain, spinal arthritis, herniated discs as well as a host of other disorders ranging from trigeminal neuralgia to head injury and Parkinson’s disease.

Causes Of Neurological Disorder

The causes of neurological disorder may be quite diverse. Both the spinal cord and the brain are insulated by numerous membranes that can be vulnerable to force and pressure. This also includes peripheral nerves that are located deep under the skin. Neurological disorders can affect an entire neurological pathway or a single neuron. Even a small disturbance to a neuron’s structural pathway can result in dysfunction. As a result, neurological disorders can result from a number of causes, including:

• Lifestyle related issues
• Infections
• Genetics
• Nutrition related issues
• Physical injuries
• Environmental influences

Symptoms of Neurological Disorders

Symptoms of neurological disorders may be mild or severe depending upon which part of the nervous system is involved and what is the root cause of the problem. Nervous system disorders may happen slowly with gradual loss of function or it may be a sudden occurrence that becomes life-threatening.

Some of the symptoms of acute neurological problems and diseases include:

• Numbness, weakness, or problem in movement of a part or all of one side of the body
• Blurring, haziness, double vision, or loss of vision in one or both eyes.
• Speech issues like trouble talking, or trouble understanding or complete loss of speech.
• Severe headache.
• Dizziness, unsteadiness.
• Persistent confusion in understanding things or a change in behavior.
• Nausea.
