Neurosurgery with Elements of Neuro-Oncology
1600-Lek5NRCH-J
The seminars are devoted to acquiring and consolidating knowledge in the field of neurosurgery and elements of neuro-oncology.
The exercises are devoted to acquiring practical skills in the field of: subjective and objective examination of a patient with a direct threat to life, in particular a patient with impaired consciousness and intracranial compression, planning and interpretation of additional tests, including specialized imaging diagnostics; determining the diagnosis and treatment of degenerative spine diseases, vascular diseases and brain tumors, as well as in conditions following CNS injuries; performing basic procedures and medical procedures.

Learning outcomes - knowledge
W 1: Environmental and epidemiological conditions, causes, symptoms, principles of diagnosis and therapeutic procedures in the case of the most common neurological diseases and their complications: 1) headaches, including migraine, tension-type headache and headache syndromes, and neuralgia of the V nerve; 2) cerebrovascular diseases, in particular stroke; 3) epilepsy; 4) infections of the nervous system, in particular meningitis, Lyme disease, herpes encephalitis, neurotransmission diseases; 5) dementias, in particular Alzheimer's disease, frontal dementia, vascular dementia and other dementia syndromes; 6) diseases of the basal ganglia, in particular Parkinson's disease; 7) demyelinating diseases, in particular multiple sclerosis; 8) diseases of the neuromuscular system, in particular amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, sciatica, compression neuropathies; 9) craniocerebral injuries, in particular concussion; 10) cancers (E. W16)
W 2: Basic classic and minimally invasive treatment techniques (F. W3)
W 3: Issues in the field of neurology and neurosurgery, in particular causes, symptoms, principles of diagnosis and therapeutic procedures in the case of the most common diseases of the central nervous system in the field of: 1) cerebral edema and its consequences, with particular emphasis on emergency situations; 2) other forms of intracranial compartment with their consequences; 3) craniocerebral injuries; 4) vascular defects of the central nervous system; 5) cancerous tumors of the central nervous system; 6) diseases of the spine and spinal cord (F. W20)
Learning outcomes - skills
