Welcome to Neurosurgery

Young patient came to see me with weakness of her arms and legs
She was dropping objects from her hands and her walking was quite off balance
She was found on MRI to have a tumor in her spine along her neck compressing her spinal cord

Did you appreciate the gift of using your arms and hands today?
Did you appreciate the gift of using your legs today to help you walk and move around?
You never know the value of such blessings until you have lost them...

Fortunately after a complex surgery, I was able to stabilize her spine and her strength returned over timeIMG_4663.JPG
