Common 20 diseases in surgery
The scope of treatment in neurosurgery is relatively wide, and the spectrum of diseases is also wide. The diseases involved are not only 20 kinds. Clinical common diseases such as craniocerebral injury, intracranial tumor, cerebrovascular disease, scalp and skull disease, intracranial infection disease, spinal and vertebral disease, and functional disease are common in clinical practice. Diseases of the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system of the whole body belong to the diagnosis and treatment of neurosurgery.
1. Craniocerebral injury: Common diseases include skull fracture, brain contusion and laceration, intracranial hematoma, etc. In the early stage, craniocerebral injury is a common disease in neurosurgery. However, with the improvement of road traffic conditions and the improvement of on-site safety conditions, the number of craniocerebral injury patients has also decreased.
2. Intracranial tumors: Common diseases include meningioma, glioma, pituitary adenoma, and so on.
3. Cerebrovascular diseases: Include cerebral artery injury, cerebral aneurysm, intracranial vascular malformations, arteriovenous fistula, and so on.
4. Diseases of the scalp and skull: Common diseases include scalp tumors, skull tumors, congenital skull diseases, etc.
5. Intracranial infection: Includes non-specific intracranial infection, such as purulent meningitis, as well as specific brain parasitic infections, etc.
6. Diseases of the spine and spinal cord: The scope of the disease is very wide, including spinal and spinal cord injuries, intraspinal tumors, degenerative diseases of the cervical and lumbar spine, as well as congenital diseases of the spine and spinal cord, such as tethered cord and syringomyelia, etc.
7. Dysfunction: The scope is relatively wide, including trigeminal neuralgia, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, and so on.
Various diseases are generally accompanied by different clinical manifestations. When patients have the above symptoms, they should go to the neurosurgery department of the hospital in a timely manner. For example, in cases of intracranial hemorrhage after craniocerebral injury, severe cases may threaten life, and timely surgical treatment should be carried out. At the same time, the patient’s consciousness and vital signs should be closely observed, and any abnormalities should be reported to the doctor in a timely manner.
