Brain & Cranial Conditions We Treat
Comprehensive surgical care for primary brain tumors, vascular lesions, and complex cranial disorders.
Meningiomas
Benign skull-based tumors — complete removal with cranial nerve and vascular preservation using advanced microsurgery.
Metastatic Brain Tumors
Surgical management of secondary brain metastases, often combined with oncology and radiation planning.
Skull Base Tumors
Complex lesions at the skull base requiring multidisciplinary planning and endoscopic or open cranial approaches.
AVMs & Vascular Lesions
Arteriovenous malformations and vascular neurosurgical conditions requiring precise haemostatic control.
Hydrocephalus
CSF disorders including obstructive hydrocephalus — shunt procedures and endoscopic third ventriculostomy.
Trigeminal Neuralgia
Cranial nerve microvascular decompression and targeted surgical relief for debilitating facial pain.
Pituitary & Sellar Lesions
For dedicated pituitary tumor surgery in Dubai, see our endoscopic pituitary surgery page — transsphenoidal removal when nasal access is preferred.
Advanced Brain Surgery Techniques
Technology-guided surgery to maximize tumor removal while protecting critical brain function.
Neuronavigation
Real-time 3D guidance during craniotomy — precise localization of tumors relative to eloquent brain areas.
Intraoperative MRI
Imaging during surgery to confirm extent of resection before closing — especially valuable for glioma surgery.
Awake Brain Surgery
Patient remains conscious for speech and motor mapping — essential when tumors lie near language or movement centres.
Minimally Invasive Cranial
Smaller bone openings and keyhole approaches where anatomy allows — less trauma, shorter recovery.
Endoscopic Assistance
Endoscopic visualization for deep or ventricular lesions — complementary to traditional microsurgical technique.
Functional Preservation
Every plan prioritizes speech, cognition, vision, and mobility — balancing oncological goals with quality of life.
Surgical Excellence in the Operating Theatre
Prof. Sharifi leads a skilled neurosurgical team using state-of-the-art equipment in accredited hospitals in Dubai and Tehran. From pre-operative planning through intraoperative decision-making, every step follows evidence-based protocols developed over decades of academic and clinical practice.
International patients receive full support — including imaging review before travel, hospital coordination, and post-operative follow-up in person or remotely.

What types of brain tumors does Prof. Sharifi treat?
Gliomas, meningiomas, metastatic brain tumors, skull base lesions, and related cranial conditions. Pituitary tumors may be treated via endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery when appropriate.
How long is recovery after brain tumor surgery?
Recovery varies by tumor type, location, and surgical approach. Minimally invasive cases may allow discharge within days; complex procedures require longer hospital and rehabilitation periods. Your personalised timeline is discussed at consultation.
Is minimally invasive brain surgery available?
Yes — when clinically appropriate. Keyhole craniotomy, neuronavigation, and endoscopic assistance can reduce surgical trauma. Not every tumor is suitable; Prof. Sharifi will advise based on your imaging.
Can I get a second opinion before brain surgery?
Absolutely. Book a free consultation and share your MRI/CT scans via our secure process. Many international patients seek a second opinion before committing to surgery at home or abroad.
