Conditions Treated — AMS Brain Spine Centre

Brain & Vascular Conditions

Intracranial Aneurysms
Balloon-like bulges in brain arteries — managed by microsurgical clipping or endovascular coiling
Arteriovenous Malformations (AVM)
Abnormal tangles of blood vessels that can cause bleeding or seizures
Cavernous Malformations
Clusters of abnormal blood vessels that can bleed repeatedly
Moyamoya Disease
Progressive narrowing of brain arteries requiring bypass surgery
Spontaneous Intracerebral Haemorrhage
Bleeding within the brain tissue, often requiring surgical evacuation
Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis
Clotting of brain's venous sinuses causing raised intracranial pressure

Brain Tumours

Gliomas (Low & High Grade)
Including glioblastoma (GBM) — primary brain tumours treated with maximum safe resection
Meningiomas
Tumours arising from the meninges — often benign but may require surgery if symptomatic
Pituitary Tumours & Adenomas
Managed endoscopically via endonasal approach in most cases
Acoustic Neuromas (Vestibular Schwannoma)
Benign nerve tumours causing hearing loss and balance problems
Skull Base Tumours
Complex tumours at the brain's base requiring specialised surgical access
Metastatic Brain Tumours
Cancer spread to the brain — surgical resection for symptom relief and diagnosis

Skull Base Conditions

Craniopharyngiomas
Benign tumours near the pituitary gland affecting vision and hormones
Chordomas & Chondrosarcomas
Rare skull base tumours requiring complex surgical approaches
Glomus Tumours
Vascular tumours at the skull base affecting cranial nerves
CSF Leaks & Encephaloceles
Cerebrospinal fluid leaks repaired endoscopically via endonasal approach

Spine Conditions

Lumbar & Cervical Disc Herniation
Slipped disc pressing on nerves — causing back/neck pain, sciatica, or arm pain
Spinal Canal Stenosis
Narrowing of the spinal canal causing pain, numbness, and walking difficulty
Spondylolisthesis
Vertebral slippage causing instability, back pain, and nerve compression
Spinal Tumours (Primary & Metastatic)
Tumours within or around the spinal cord requiring surgical decompression
Degenerative Disc Disease
Age-related disc wear causing chronic pain and reduced mobility
Cauda Equina Syndrome
Surgical emergency requiring urgent decompression to prevent permanent disability

Stroke Disease & Management

Ischemic Stroke
Blocked brain artery reducing blood flow — treated with clot-dissolving medication or mechanical thrombectomy
Hemorrhagic Stroke
Bleeding within the brain from ruptured vessels — managed with intensive care or surgical evacuation
Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)
Temporary interruption of brain blood supply — warning sign requiring urgent evaluation and prevention
Carotid Artery Stenosis
Narrowing of carotid arteries supplying the brain — treated with carotid endarterectomy or stenting
Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke
Blockage of major brain arteries causing severe stroke — treated with emergency endovascular clot retrieval
Malignant MCA Infarction
Large stroke causing life-threatening brain swelling — treated with decompressive craniectomy surgery
Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Bleeding within brain tissue causing pressure — sometimes requiring surgical clot evacuation
Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Bleeding around the brain usually from aneurysm rupture — treated with clipping or endovascular coiling
Stroke Prevention & Secondary Care
Long-term stroke prevention through medications, risk factor control, and lifestyle management

Not sure if your condition needs neurosurgical evaluation? Many patients are referred by neurologists, physicians, or other specialists. If you have been diagnosed with a brain, vascular, or spinal condition — or have imaging findings that require specialist review — Dr. Arul Muthukumaraswamy is available for a thorough consultation. Appointments typically involve a review of your MRI / CT scans and medical history before a recommendation is made.
