This area includes neurosurgical care
for intractable tremor, Parkinsons disease and epilepsy using
advanced stereotactic technology (framed and frameless). Stereotactic
procedures permit surgeons to isolate target areas within the brain.
This minimally invasive access uses a needle via a small entrance as
compared to opening the skull as in more traditional procedures. Brain
biopsies are achieved through this manner. Computer assisted frameless
stereotactic neurosurgery helps the surgeon in resection of brain tumors
while avoiding critical structures.
The Stereotactic Radiosurgery
Program at Atlantic Neuroscience Institute was the first of its kind established in the state and offers state of the art focused radiation to treat brain tumors, vascular malformations as well as pain and movement disorders.
