Neurological Nursing is a nursing specialty dealing with assessment, nursing diagnosis and management of brain and nervous system disorders, tumors, brain injuries, trauma, spine injuries, stroke, seizures aneurysms and many more conditions.

Critical illness defines severe damage of vital organs like Central nervous system failure, brain damage, and spine injury and there is a chance of life threatening deterioration in the patient’s condition. Critical care is time dependent and delivered by physician to a critically injured patient and requires high complex decision to assess, monitor, manipulate and support vital organ function in order to treat vital organ system failure.

Neuro Oncology is the study of brain and spinal cord neoplasms, many of which are (at least eventually) very dangerous and life-threatening (astrocytoma, glioma, glioblastoma multiforme, ependymoma, pontine glioma, and brain stem tumors are among the many examples of these). Among the malignant brain cancers, gliomas of the brainstem and pons, glioblastoma multiforme, and high-grade (highly anaplastic) astrocytoma are among the worst.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) (named as glioblastoma) is a invasive glioma which is developed from star-shaped glial cells (i.e. astrocytes and oligodendrocytes) that support the health of the nerve cells within the brain. Almost 1 in 5 tumors in the brain are glioblastoma.

When cancer develops elsewhere in the body and spreads (metastasizes) to the brain, which is called as secondary brain tumor, or metastatic brain cancer. Brain metastases (secondary brain tumors) occur in approximately 15% of cancer patients as a result of haematogenous dissemination of cancer, and the incidence may be rising because of better control of systemic disease. 

The overall annual incidence of primary brain tumors in the United States is 9.5 cases per 100,000 population. Over 60% of primary brain tumors are gliomas, and at least two-thirds of these are clinically aggressive and high grade. Brain tumors represent 20% of all childhood malignancies and are the number two cause of cancer death in children after leukaemia

Pediatric Neuro Oncology is a fast developing field. Brain tumors are the cause of cancer-related deaths among children. Brain disorders are the most common solid malignancy in children.  Their bodies and brains are still developing. Their tumors are different.  The common childhood brain cancers are not the same as the most common adult brain cancers. Though they are rare, brain tumors are very common form of solid tumors among children under the age of 15 and represent about 20% of all childhood cancers.

Childhood tumors frequently appear in different locations and behave differently than brain tumors appearing in adults.  Treatment options are different and can be strongly influenced by the age of the child.  Children suffering from brain cancer may also have a much better prognosis than adults with a similar condition. The common types of brain tumors in children are Neurofibromatosis, Primitive Neuroectodermal tumor, Leukaemia, Neuroblastoma, Medulloblastoma, Ependymoma and Astrocytoma.

The work of the neuropathologist consists largely of examining biopsy tissue from the brain and spinal cord to aid in diagnosis of disease. The biopsy is usually requested after a mass is detected by radiologic imaging. As for autopsies, the principal work of the neuropathologist is to help in the post-mortem diagnosis of various forms of dementia and other conditions that affect the central nervous system.

Neuropathology is the study of disease of nervous system tissue, usually in the form of either small surgical biopsies or whole autopsies. Neuropathology is a subspecialty of anatomic pathology, neurology, and neurosurgery.

About one-third of patients are being treated for cancer pain, which leads to many different forms. It may be short-lived or long-lasting, mild or severe, or effect on few organs, bones or organ system. Since each patient’s pain is unique, it is determined that cancer pain management treatment plans must be adapt to address individual needs.
