Basic Neurosurgical Pathology

Most people are not aware that there is a huge difference between the fields of a neurologist and neurosurgeon. As a general rule neurologist treat conditions that can not be operated on (Parkinsons, Multiple Sclerosis, Motor Neuron Disease). Neurosurgeons treat conditions of the nervous system that can be treated by surgical intervention (brain tumours, brain trauma, degenerative spinal conditions etc)
