Brain Tumor
A cancerous or non cancerous mass or abnormal growth in the brain. A brain tumor is a mass of abnormal cells in or around the brain that grow uncontrollably. Tumors can be benign (non-cancerous), slow-growing, and less likely to spread, or malignant (cancerous), rapidly growing, and potentially life-threatening. Symptoms vary but can include headaches, seizures, vision or hearing problems, personality changes, nausea, and issues with balance or coordination. Causes are unknown, but factors like radiation therapy, certain genetic conditions, and weakened immune systems are associated with increased risk.
Causes:
- Radiation therapy
- Inherited conditions
- Weakened immune system
Spine Tumor /रीढ़ की हड्डी का ट्यूमर
A spine tumor, is an abnormal growth of tissue within or surrounding the spinal cord. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Spinal tumors can originate in the spine (primary) or spread to the spine from another part of the body (Metastatic).
Aneurysm Clipping / मस्तिष्क धमनीविस्फार
Aneurysm clipping is a microsurgical procedure used to treat brain aneurysms, which are weakened areas in blood vessels that can bulge and potentially rupture. The procedure involves surgically placing a small metal clip across the neck of the aneurysm to prevent blood flow into it, effectively sealing it off. This helps to prevent the aneurysm from bursting and causing a stroke.
Risks and side effects:
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Brain swelling
- Reactions to Anesthesia
- Stroke
Head Injury / सिर की चोट
A head injury, also known as a brain injury or traumatic brain injury (TBI), refers to damage to the scalp, skull, or brain caused by trauma. These injuries can range from minor bruises to severe trauma involving bleeding, fractures, and damage to the brain tissue.
Spinal Trauma and Fractures / रीढ़ की हड्डी में चोट और फ्रैक्चर
Spinal fractures, also known as vertebral fractures, are breaks in the bones of the spine, often caused by trauma or osteoporosis. Symptoms can include back pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, and potential loss of movement or bowel/bladder control
Symptoms:
- Back pain
- Numbness and Tingling
- Weakness or Paralysis
- Loss of bowel or Bladder Control
- Uncontrolled Muscle Spasms
Slipped Disc / साइटिका
A slipped disc, also known as a herniated or bulging disc, occurs when the soft, gel-like cushion between the vertebrae in the spine pushes out of its normal position, compressing nervers and thereby often causing pain and other symptoms. This condition can happen in any part of the spine, but is most common in the lower back and neck.
Symptoms:
- Pain
- Numbness or tingling in one or both limbs
- Muscle weakness
- Loss of reflexes
Low Back Pain / पीठ के निचले भाग में दर्द
Lower back pain is very common. It often results from a strain (injury) to muscles or tendons in your back. Other causes include arthritis, structural problems and disk injuries. The pain often gets better with rest, physical therapy and/or medication. Nearly everyone experiences lower back pain at some point in their lives. The pain can range from mild to severe. For most, it’s temporary. But long-lasting (chronic) lower back pain is also common — up to 23% of adults worldwide have chronic lower back pain. In extreme cases, lower back pain can make it difficult or impossible to walk, sleep, work or do everyday activities.
Symptoms:
- Happen after a specific event, like bending over to pick something up.
- Feel sharp or dull and achy.
- Radiate down to your buttock or down the back of your leg
Pain/ Numbness in Lower Limbs / निचले अंगों में दर्द/ सुन्नता
Numbness, sometimes called ‘paraesthesia’, means you lose some or all sensation in the affected part of your body. It is due to a problem with the nerves sending signals to the brain. You won’t feel light touch, pain or temperature. You can experience numbness anywhere in your body, but it’s most commonly felt in the fingers, hands, feet, arms, or legs. You might also feel a tingling, prickling, or ‘pins and needles’ sensation. Having a numb limb can lead to other problems, such as falling or not noticing an injury, infection or sore. There are many causes of limb numbness. The most common cause is sitting on one of your legs or sleeping on an arm for a long time. This causes numbness because sitting or lying awkwardly on a limb compresses the nerves that go to that area and temporarily affect their function.
Migraine/ माइग्रेन
Migraine is a complex brain condition characterized by recurrent headaches, often accompanied by sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and vomiting. It's a throbbing or pulsating pain, typically felt on one side of the head, but it can also be felt on both sides. Migraines can interfere with daily activities and vary in severity, with some attacks being quite mild and others debilitating. A Migraine is much more than a bad headache. It can cause debilitating, throbbing, one-sided head pain that can leave you in bed for days. Movement, lights, sounds and other triggers may cause symptoms like fatigue, nausea, vision changes, irritability and more.
Vertigo / चक्कर
Vertigo is a sensation that the environment around you is spinning in circles. It can make you feel dizzy and off-balance. Vertigo is a symptom of lots of health conditions rather than a disease itself, but it can occur along with other symptoms.
It's important to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis, especially if your vertigo is accompanied by severe symptoms like:
- Sudden, severe headache.
- Trouble walking or weakness in an arm or leg.
- Vision changes.
- Rapid or irregular heartbeat.
- Fainting or seizures.
- Persistent vomiting.
Cervical pain / सरवाइकल दर्द
Cervical pain, or neck pain, is a common condition causing discomfort in the neck region. It can range from a dull ache to a sharp, stabbing sensation and may radiate to the shoulders, upper back, or even cause headaches. Symptoms can include stiffness, reduced range of motion, difficulty sleeping, and sometimes numbness or weakness in the arms.
Causes of Cervical Pain:
- Muscle spasm
- Nerve compression
- Poor posture
- Trauma
Epilepsy Surgery / मिर्गी सर्जरी
Epilepsy surgery may be an option when medicines aren't able to manage seizures. This condition is known as medically refractory epilepsy. It also is called drug-resistant epilepsy. The goal of epilepsy surgery is to stop seizures or limit how bad they are. Managing seizures is important because of the complications and health risks that can result if epilepsy isn't properly treated. Complications can include:
- Physical injuries during a seizure.
- Drowning, if the seizure occurs during a bath or swimming.
- Depression and anxiety.
- Neuropathic pain.
- Developmental delays in children.
- Worsening memory or other thinking skills.
Surgery for Paralysis / पक्षाघात के लिए सर्जरी
Nerve repair surgery aims to restore function and sensation that was partially or completely lost due to nerve damage. For example, if a nerve injury caused paralysis in the arm, the surgery aims to return movement and sensation to the arm.
There are different ways to repair a damaged nerve and restore its function. They include:
- Direct Nerve Repair
- Nerve Grafting
- Nerve Transfer
Epilepsy Seizures / मिर्गी के दौरे
Epilepsy is a brain and spine disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, which are brief episodes of involuntary movements, sometimes accompanied by loss of consciousness. Seizures are caused by excessive electrical activity in the brain. While epilepsy involves recurrent, unprovoked seizures, a single seizure does not necessarily mean a person has epilepsy.
Commonly reported seizure triggers include:
- Stress
- Sleep Deprivation
- Alcohol use, alcohol withdrawal, drug abuse.
- Hormonal changes or menstrual hormonal changes.
- Illness, fever.
