Doctor's Profile
Dr. Julio Pozuelos is one of the most respected 
neurosurgeons in Guatemala City, a specialist in 
the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting 
the central nervous system and spine. Since 2007 
he has corrected many cases of spinal cord 
injuries, brain injuries, tumors, and other 
neurological conditions, allowing his numerous 
patients a second chance at pursuing normal life.
Dr. Pozuelos received extensive training in Madrid, 
Spain, where he completed neurosurgery 
residency. During this time, he participated in 
clinical research, medical research studies and 
advanced courses in neurosurgical procedures. 
Currently back in Guatemala, he works as Head of 
Neurosurgery at both, Hospital Militar and 
Sanatorio El Pilar, located in zone 16 and 15 
respectively.
Patients who arrive at his clinic present a wide array 
of problems and symptoms: cases range from 
unusual brain tumors to more commonly seen nerve 
root lesions,  such as lumbosciatica. This is a very 
common disease and can manifest as electric shock 
or burn sensations that start in the lower back or 
buttocks and extends towards the back of the leg 
and sole. The pain intensity and affected region may 
vary depending on which nerve root was damaged. 
The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve of the human 
body, coming from several nerve branches that 
originate in the spine, including the roots of the last 
two lumbar vertebrae (L4 and L5) and the first three 
sacral nerves (S1, S2 and S3). Dr. Pozuelos has 
successfully treated innumerable cases of sciatic 
nerve injury secondary to vertebral compression.
Dr. Pozuelos also treats cases of 
cerebrospinal fluid disorders. These 
disorders may cause an exaggerated 
increase in the pressure of the 
cerebrospinal fluid within the cranial 
cavity. Normally, this liquid protects 
and cushions the brain inside the 
cranium, but when it accumulates 
exaggeratedly it can cause an 
increase in pressure detrimental to 
brain tissue. This increase in fluid 
can be caused by brain injuries, 
infections, tumors and bleeding in 
the brain, among other causes. To 
relieve pressure, a flexible 
biocompatible shunt or tube is 
surgically inserted to withdraw fluid 
from the brain.
