Nnamdi Elenwoke

Nnamdi Elenwoke is a neurosurgeon at Centro Médico Teknon. He specializes in minimally invasive and functional neurosurgery. Elenwoke treats Arnold–Chiari malformation and complex craniovertebral junction disorders — a group of conditions where the skull meets the spine. The specialist employs advanced microsurgery, robotic-assisted techniques, and endoscopic skull base surgery to help ensure patient safety.

Treatment Focus & Surgical Methods

Elenwoke restores cerebrospinal fluid flow in patients with Chiari syndrome. He uses advanced imaging and neuronavigation systems to protect neurological function during surgery. Because these systems provide real-time maps, he can avoid critical brain areas. The specialist treats various conditions, including:

• Arnold–Chiari malformation (Type I & II)
• Brain and spinal tumors such as meningioma and acoustic neuroma
• Craniovertebral junction disorders
• Hydrocephalus and syringomyelia
• Cerebral artery aneurysms and cavernomas
• Degenerative spine issues like herniated disks and stenosis

Surgical Procedures

The doctor performs high-complexity brain and spine procedures at the Neuroinstitut. He uses endoscopic techniques for skull base tumors and pituitary adenomas. His surgical portfolio includes:

• Posterior fossa decompression
• Minimally invasive spine fusion and laminectomy
• Robotic spine surgery
• Brain aneurysm repair and tumor embolization
• Vagus nerve and sacral nerve stimulation
• Surgical treatment for epilepsy and radiculopathy
