| Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: |
This is a condition when bleeding occurs into the subarachnoid space (between the pia and the arachnoid maters). This is usually caused by a rupture of aneurysm or arteriovenous (AV) malformation or may be a result of trauma. |
| Spinal Cord Injuries: |
These injuries are usually a result of a traumatic event such as a motor vehicle accident or a fall. Spinal cord injuries can result in loss of movement of part or all of a person's body, depending on the location and severity of injury. |
| Head Injuries: |
Head injuries are also a result of trauma. They are often caused by motor vehicle accidents or may also be the result of a fall. The severity depends on the location of the injury within the brain. |
| Brain and Spinal Tumours: |
Brain and spinal cord tumours are abnormal growths of tissue found inside the skull or the spinal column. Benign tumours (non-cancerous) consist of a growth of cells that are similar to other normal cells, grow relatively slowly and are confined to one location. Malignant tumours (cancerous) consist of cells that are very different from normal cells, grow relatively quickly and can spread easily to other locations. |
