Best Neurosurgeon in Mumbai

  Are you experiencing a painless, yet hard, lump on your skull bone? If yes, it’d be a good idea to get it checked. Most people ignore such painless lumps on the skull thinking they’re harmless. While many skull conditions are benign in nature, some can point towards a rarer condition like Intradiploic Meningioma. As a neurosurgeon in Mumbai , my job is often to remind patients that painless swellings should never be ignored, as there could be several underlying diseases that could be causing the lump. It’s always best to get early diagnosis to make treatment simpler and outcomes significantly better. What is an Intradiploic Meningioma? Meningiomas typically develop from the protective coverings of the brain. Intradiploic meningioma however, grows within the skull base. It originates and builds in the spongy middle layer of the skull (the diploe) and accounts for less than 2% of all meningiomas cases. The best news though, is that nearly 90% of these tumors and benign (WHO Grade ...

The human brain is one of the most complex organs in the world, hence its unpredictability poses some of the biggest challenge for neurosurgeons and neurologists – like recurring diseases post brain tumor surgery. One such disease is recurring Cushing’s disease. Cushing’s disease is a hormonal disorder caused by a pituitary tumor that triggers excessive cortisol production.  It is often treated by performing transsphenoidal pituitary surgery, a minimally invasive procedure performed through the nose to remove the tumour. In most cases, patients see a successful drop in cortisol levels. However, some cases may see elevated cortisol even after surgery. This condition is known as ‘persistent Cushing’s disease’. This blog discusses how recurring brain diseases like Cushing’s disease occur and affect the brain and how patients can still achieve a cure with proper care. Why Does Cushing’s Disease Recur Even After Surgery? Cushing’s disease usually persists when tiny portions of the brain...

  Brain diseases are already considered to be one of the scariest topics for human beings. So, when patients are told that they have a ‘brain tumor’, their automatic response is to think of the worst-case scenario: brain cancer. This is one of the most common misconceptions in neurology. Not every brain tumor is cancerous. Many of them are often classified as benign (non-cancerous) and can be successfully treated through brain tumor surgery in Mumbai , performed by experienced specialists. Understanding the difference between cancerous and non-cancerous tumor is essential in making informed treatment decisions, and also help reduce anxiety around it. This blog discusses the difference, and everything else you need to know about brain tumors. What is a Brain Tumor? A tumor is nothing but abnormal growth of cells/mass within or around the brain. The term ‘tumor’ refers to the presence of a mass, and it does not necessarily indicate whether it’s cancerous. Such tumor can easily be rem...

A pituitary tumor is an abnormal growth that occurs in the pituitary gland, a small area of the brain. While most pituitary tumors are not cancerous, they have the potential to disrupt the production of hormones and compress other structures of the body, including the optic nerves. This can cause headaches, vision issues, hormonal changes, tiredness and other unexplained weight changes. Medical technologies and neurosurgical treatments have come a long way, and the treatment of pituitary tumors has improved in India. Modern diagnostics, high-tech imaging and specialized treatments help ensure accurate diagnosis and improve outcomes and quality of life for patients today. Treatment Options Available for Pituitary tumors Treatment will vary based on the size, type and location of the tumor and the health of the patient. Medication, radiation therapy and surgery are common treatments. Surgery is usually indicated for large or symptomatic tumors or when the tumor causes hormonal im...
