General Neurosurgery

Neurosurgery is a specialty that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of injury or disorders of the brain, spinal cord and spinal column. Dr Moyeni provides neurosurgical treatment and care for both adults and children. Depending on the nature and severity of the disease or injury, Dr Moyeni may provide surgical and/or non-surgical care.

As an experienced Neurosurgeon, Dr Moyeni specialises in diagnosing, assessing and performing surgery to treat disorders of the nervous system.

A consultation with a Neurosurgeon like Dr Moyeni may be recommended if you have been referred with a problem that affects your brain, spinal cord, or nerves. Or you may want to visit Dr Moyeni for a second opinion or in the case of an emergency.

Dr Moyeni specialises in the following neurology conditions and fields:

Cranial conditions: Dr Moyeni treats a variety of cranial conditions, including tumours, blood clots, aneurysms, infection, traumatic head injuries, trauma from foreign objects such as bullets, and swelling of the brain.

Spinal conditions: Dr Moyeni is trained and skilled in treating conditions of the spine and nervous system. He performs biopsies, open surgery or minimally invasive surgical procedures.

Paediatric neurosurgery: Dr Moyeni is specially trained and has substantial clinical experience in treating children, providing them with insightful and attentive care. Hw has a special interest in providing surgery for young patients and treating Posterior Fossa Tumors in children. He also treats Neuro-craniofacial birth defects, such as Craniosynostosis and Encephalocele.

Brain and spinal tumours: Brain and spinal cord tumours are abnormal growths of tissue found inside the skull or the bony spinal column- the primary components of the central nervous system (CNS). Treatment generally involves surgery to remove the tumour.

CNS Infections: The central nervous system is the part of the body’s nervous system that includes the brain and spinal cord. It controls most functions of the mind and body. An infection in the central nervous system can be life-threatening, especially for those with weak immune systems. These infections need a speedy diagnosis and immediate treatment by a Neurosurgeon.

Childhood and Adult Hydrocephalus: Hydrocephalus is the buildup of fluid in the cavities deep within the brain. The excess fluid puts pressure on the brain. Hydrocephalus treatment is usually surgical. The goal of treatment is to create a way for the excess fluid to drain away.

Chiari Syndrome management: Chiari malformation is a rare syndrome that causes brain tissue that extends into the spinal canal. The condition occurs when part of your skull is abnormally misshapen or small. This results in pressure on the brain, forcing it downward. Chiari syndrome is usually treated with surgery. Surgery aims to stop the progression of changes in the anatomy of your brain and spinal canal and ease or stabilize symptoms.
