Brain Tumors

Brain tumors require precise diagnosis and advanced surgical planning due to the critical functions controlled by the brain.

Types of tumors managed

• Pituitary tumors
• Ventricular tumors
• Skull base tumors
• Benign and malignant brain tumors
• Spinal cord tumors

Possible symptoms

• Persistent headaches
• Visual disturbances
• Weakness or sensory loss
• Seizures
• Balance or memory problems

Treatment approach

• Microsurgical brain tumor removal
• Endoscopic surgery for selected brain and skull base tumors
• Multidisciplinary coordination with oncology teams when needed
• Maximum tumor removal while preserving neurological function

Pituitary Tumors

The pituitary gland regulates many essential hormones in the body. Tumors affecting this gland may cause hormonal disorders or pressure on the optic nerves.

Symptoms

• Hormonal imbalance
• Blurred or impaired vision
• Chronic headaches

Treatment approach

• Endoscopic transnasal surgery in suitable cases
• Precise tumor removal while preserving pituitary function whenever possible
• Post-operative hormonal monitoring and management

Skull Base Tumors

These tumors are among the most challenging neurosurgical conditions due to their proximity to vital nerves and major blood vessels.

Treatment approach

• Advanced microsurgical procedures
• Endoscopic skull base surgery
• Comprehensive surgical planning to minimize complications and preserve neurological function

Spine Surgery

Dr. Ahmed El Ghannam manages a wide range of spinal disorders affecting both adults and children.

Conditions treated

• Herniated discs
• Spinal canal stenosis
• Spinal deformities and scoliosis
• Vertebral fractures
• Spinal tumors
• Spinal cord injuries

Symptoms

• Neck or back pain
• Limb numbness or tingling
• Muscle weakness
• Difficulty walking or moving

Treatment approach

• Conservative treatment in selected cases
• Spinal stabilization procedures
• Decompression surgery for nerve compression
• Correction of spinal deformities and structural abnormalities

Pediatric Neurosurgery

Children may develop neurological conditions that require early specialized intervention to preserve healthy growth and neurological development.

Conditions managed

• Hydrocephalus
• Congenital nervous system abnormalities
• Pediatric brain tumors
• Head and spinal injuries

Treatment approach

• Surgical intervention when required
• Continuous monitoring and follow-up
• Focus on preserving neurological development and function
