Dr. Symeon Missios uses advanced neuronavigation technology to bring greater precision and safety to brain and spine surgery. By combining preoperative MRI imaging with infrared (IR) camera tracking, this system allows him to correlate a patient’s anatomy in real time and accurately localize tumors during surgery. The ability to “navigate” within the brain supports minimally invasive approaches, reduces surgical morbidity, and helps protect healthy tissue. If you or a loved one is facing neurosurgery, learn more about how image-guided technology can improve outcomes by visiting our site below.

Neurosurgeon Dr. Symeon Missios offers stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), which offers a precise, non-invasive alternative to traditional radiation for treating brain and spine conditions. Using focused beams, SRS delivers high-dose radiation directly to the target while sparing surrounding tissue, often in a single outpatient session. It’s highly effective for small brain tumors, meningiomas, metastatic lesions, and even trigeminal neuralgia, with minimal side effects and rapid recovery. Traditional radiation usually requires multiple sessions and exposes more healthy tissue. Learn more about SRS and whether it’s right for you by visiting our site below!

Imagine controlling a computer, robotic arm, or even a video game character—just with your thoughts. Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) like Neuralink and Synchron are turning sci-fi dreams into reality, helping patients with paralysis or ALS regain independence while pushing the boundaries of human-computer interaction. From chess-playing patients to texting without hands, the possibilities are mind-blowing—and we’re only scratching the surface.

01/05/2026

A brain aneurysm is a weakened area in a blood vessel that can balloon out, often silently, until it ruptures—causing severe headache, brain injury, or even death. Larger aneurysms carry a higher risk of rupture, making timely evaluation and treatment crucial. Minimally invasive procedures, such as endovascular coiling and stenting, can effectively prevent rupture, while surgical clipping is reserved for aneurysms that require open intervention.

Don’t wait for symptoms—early evaluation can save lives. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Symeon Missios today to assess your risk and explore treatment options.

Hydrocephalus occurs when excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) builds up in the brain, leading to symptoms such as difficulty walking, memory problems, and loss of bladder control—especially in older adults with Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH). When testing shows that draining CSF improves symptoms, shunt surgery may be recommended. This procedure involves placing a small, flexible tube under the skin to safely redirect excess fluid from the brain to the abdomen, relieving pressure and restoring function. If you or a loved one is experiencing symptoms of hydrocephalus, contact Dr. Missios today.
