Neurology Spinal Cord Hamburg

Neurosurgery

Headache, unilateral visual disturbances, pain radiating to one leg, speech disturbances, gait unsteadiness are initially unsuspicious symptoms that usually mean nothing, but are often cause for imaging. 

If a tumor, a change in the cerebral arteries, a herniated disc or a disturbance of the nerve water circulation is found, it must be decided whether this is suitable for surgical therapy and, if so, what the urgency is.

At the MEDIZINICUM Hamburg, neurosurgeons, neurologists and experts from the Back Center as well as an interdisciplinary team of specialists are available who can identify diseases of the central nervous system and design an interdisciplinary treatment concept for you.
