About the doctor
Dr. Liu Ruen is a Chief Physician, Director of the Neuroscience Medical Center, and Administrative Director of Neurosurgery at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital. His clinical scope includes surgical care for hemifacial spasm, trigeminal neuralgia, glossopharyngeal neuralgia, sellar and cerebellopontine angle tumors, epilepsy, and dystonia. The hospital must review symptoms, examination findings, imaging, and previous treatment to determine whether surgery is indicated, which approach may be appropriate, and the expected benefits and risks.
Clinical areas
Hemifacial spasm, trigeminal neuralgia, or glossopharyngeal neuralgia affecting daily life and requiring further surgical assessment
Symptoms, medication history, and cranial imaging can be organized for the neurosurgical team to determine whether further tests are needed and to discuss options such as microvascular decompression.
A sellar or cerebellopontine angle tumor requiring assessment of the surgical pathway and neurological risks
The hospital can review contrast-enhanced MRI, hearing or visual assessments, previous treatment, and current neurological function to plan further evaluation and care.
Recurrent seizures despite medication and a need to understand whether surgical assessment is appropriate
Seizure records, EEG results, imaging, and a complete medication history can be reviewed by the epilepsy team to decide whether further localization studies or discussion of surgery or neuromodulation is appropriate.
Dystonia or Meige syndrome affecting function and requiring assessment of neurosurgical options
The hospital needs to review the symptom pattern, previous medication or injection treatment, neurological examination, and imaging before considering neuromodulation or another surgical pathway.

Hospital and department
Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University, is a Grade III Class A general hospital.
The hospital's neurosurgery department provides surgical care for cranial nerve disorders, intracranial tumors, epilepsy, and dystonia. The hospital must confirm the applicable service and available technology for each patient.
Before you seek care
Records to prepare
Consider preparing symptom or episode records, previous diagnoses and treatment, a medication list, and available MRI, CT, EEG, and relevant specialty tests. The hospital will confirm the final document list.
Appointment arrangements
Related clinics are available at the main and Changying campuses. Schedules may change and require current hospital confirmation.
- Sudden loss of consciousness, ongoing seizures, acute limb weakness, severe headache with vomiting, or other emergency symptoms require immediate local emergency care. Do not wait for a cross-border appointment.
- This page cannot determine whether surgery is needed or which procedure is appropriate. The neurosurgical team must decide after reviewing the consultation findings, imaging, and overall health.
