• Abstract:

  Veterinary neurosurgery works to diagnose and treat neurological disorders in animals, such as brain tumors and spinal cord injuries. A detailed anamnesis and a precise neurological examination help determine the appropriate surgical approach. Surgery, combined with post-operative rehabilitation, aims to restore neurological function and improve patients' quality of life, guaranteeing positive long-term results. This work aims to provide a broad overview of the principles, techniques and perspectives of veterinary neurosurgery, thus contributing to the advancement and improvement of healthcare for animals with nervous system disorders. This study was conducted by means of a bibliographical review, following a qualitative and descriptive approach. This study concludes that veterinary neurosurgery is an area in constant evolution, where the integration of multidisciplinary knowledge, including neuroanatomy, advanced surgical techniques and post-operative rehabilitation, aim to guarantee better clinical results.
