There are a myriad of disorders that can affect the brain and the structures related to it. Listed are some of the more common disorders that a Neurosurgeon like Dr Pope can assist you with. 

These conditions may initially be diagnosed by a GP or a fellow Specialist such as a Neurologist. They then refer you to seek the advice of a Neurosurgeon.

Sometimes, symptoms and signs of these conditions manifest quickly and you may be admitted to hospital and have these diagnoses made as an inpatient.
