BRAIN SURGERY
Comprehensive Brain Surgery Services
Dr. Vahagn Tosunyan specializes in advanced brain surgery procedures, utilizing the latest minimally invasive techniques and state-of-the-art technology to treat a wide range of neurological conditions.
Benign Brain Tumors
Benign brain tumors are non-cancerous growths that may still cause symptoms due to pressure on surrounding brain structures. Common examples include meningiomas and schwannomas. Treatment may include observation, surgery, or radiosurgery depending on size, location, and symptoms.
Malignant Brain Tumors
Malignant brain tumors are aggressive and require prompt multidisciplinary treatment. Management may involve surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. The goal is maximal safe tumor removal while preserving neurological function.
Hydrocephalus
Hydrocephalus is a condition where excess cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the brain, causing increased pressure. Symptoms may include headache, nausea, gait disturbance, or cognitive decline. Treatment usually involves surgical CSF diversion such as shunt placement or endoscopic procedures.
Intracranial Infections
Epidural & Subdural Empyema | Brain Abscess
Intracranial infections are serious neurological conditions that require early diagnosis and timely neurosurgical treatment. With modern imaging, microsurgical techniques, and targeted antibiotic therapy, excellent outcomes can be achieved.
Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury can range from mild concussion to severe brain damage. Symptoms may include headache, confusion, loss of consciousness, or neurological deficits. Early assessment and appropriate management are crucial to prevent secondary brain injury.
