Clinical focus

A central part of Dr. Coşkun’s practice is the surgical evaluation and treatment of brain tumors, including meningiomas. He also performs epilepsy surgery for patients whose seizures are being considered for a surgical approach as part of their overall epilepsy treatment. Whether surgery is appropriate depends on the individual findings, and each case is assessed on the basis of the patient’s history, imaging and previous treatments.

His areas of expertise further include cerebrovascular conditions such as cerebral aneurysms, brain hemorrhage and cerebrovascular occlusion, as well as arachnoid cysts. In spinal neurosurgery, he assesses and treats spinal pain and disc herniation. Within pediatric neurosurgery, he cares for children with neurosurgical conditions of the brain and spine, working in coordination with other specialties as the clinical situation requires.

How Dr. Coşkun works with international patients

Dr. Coşkun consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. The international patient team coordinates the collection of prior medical reports and imaging, arranges appointments and organises the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and current symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the available options and their considerations. For international patients, a video consultation with Dr. Coşkun can also be arranged, which may be used to review reports and imaging and to discuss whether further evaluation in İstanbul is appropriate.
