Hemifacial spasm
Hemifacial spasm is a condition of unclear cause that causes twitching or spasms on one side of the face and can be a very difficult problem for people to deal with. This condition has multiple treatments. |

Craniotomies and craniectomies
These procedures are performed by neurosurgeons to treat surgical problems including hemorrhagic strokes, trauma, brain tumors, and a multitude of neurological disorders. Utilizing the operating microscope during these delicate procedures allows safe, precise, and less invasive approaches to complex and life-threatening neurosurgical disorders.
Gamma knife radiosurgery
The neurosurgeons at Lancaster NeuroScience & Spine Associates frequently use the gamma knife for treatment of brain tumors and vascular malformations. Through pre-operative planning with the gamma knife radiosurgical team, high doses of radiation are delivered to lesions in a single treatment session. Through sophisticated treatment plans, maximal doses of radiation are delivered to lesions within the brain, minimizing injury to normal structures. |
