Mr. N V Todd

I work as a neurosurgeon and spinal surgeon. I retired from the NHS in 2011. I continue to work in academic neurosurgery and in personal injury and medical negligence litigation. I have treated patients with the widest range of neurological and neurosurgical conditions. I would consider myself expert in the management of traumatic brain injury (head injury), spinal injury, cauda equina syndrome, adult brain and spinal tumours, degenerative disorders of the spine, cervical myelopathy, cervical radiculopathy, neck pain, lumbar radiculopathy, low back pain, haemorrhagic stroke, subarachnoid haemorrhage, CNS infection, spinal infection, brain abscess, epidural abscess, spinal epidural haematoma and hydrocephalus.

In 1983-1984 I was a Medical Research Council Special Training Fellow in Neurosurgery undertaking experimental research in the area of ischaemic cerebro-vascular disease. I have subsequently undertaken clinical research in many areas. I have published a higher degree and have over 130 neurosurgical publications or abstracts. I have provided some thousands of reports, for both personal injury litigation and medical negligence litigation. I have appeared in the County Court and High Court on many occasions. I would estimate that I am currently instructed approximately 60% by Claimants and 40% by Defendants.
