Diagnosis of Neurological diseases

Our neurosurgery team uses advanced state-of-the-art techniques and technologies to evaluate and treat neurological conditions, including many rare or complex disorders. They work with a team of doctors trained in many areas to determine the most appropriate treatment for your individual needs.

  • Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA)
    It is a fluoroscopic technique used extensively in interventional radiology for visualizing blood vessels. A fluid contrast substance is injected into the cerebral arteries to evaluate the intracranial blood circulation and examine if there is any abnormality such as an aneurysm, vascular malformation or blockage within the blood vessels. Radiopaque structures such as bones are eliminated (“subtracted”) digitally from the image, thus allowing for an accurate depiction of the blood vessels.
  • Nerve Conduction Tests
    A nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test measures how fast an electrical impulse moves through your nerve and can identify nerve damage.
  • Electromyography Studies
    Electromyography (EMG) measures muscle response. This test helps detect neurological abnormalities by inserting one or more small needles through the skin.
  • Evoked Potential Studies
    Sensory evoked potentials studies measure electrical activity in the brain in response to stimulation of sight, sound, or touch.
  • Non - Invasive Video EEG Tests
    Non-Invasive EEG uses a set of electrodes placed on the scalp in diagnosing the neurological condition of the patient.

We provide care across the spectrum of neurological disorders, including primary and metastatic brain and spinal tumors, traumatic brain injury and haemorrhages, cerebral aneurysms and vascular malformations, degenerative and traumatic spinal conditions, stroke and vascular stenosis, hydrocephalus, congenital and developmental neurological disorders in children, movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor and dystonia, paediatric and adult epilepsy; headaches and facial pain syndromes, craniofacial disorders, brachial plexus injuries, peripheral nerve diseases, and several other neurological conditions.

    FAQ

  • What is Spine Surgery?

    Spine surgery is a medical specialty that focuses on the surgical treatment of conditions affecting the spine. The spine, also known as the vertebral column or backbone, is a complex structure made up of vertebrae, discs, nerves, and other supporting tissues. Spine surgery is performed to address a variety of spinal disorders, injuries, or degenerative conditions that may be causing pain, instability, or neurological symptoms.

  • What is Neurology

    Neurology is a branch of medicine that deals with disorders of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. Medical professionals who specialize in neurology are called neurologists. The nervous system is a complex and vital part of the human body, responsible for coordinating and controlling various bodily functions.

  • When is Neurosurgery recommended?

    Neurosurgery is recommended when conservative treatments, such as medication or physical therapy, are not effective in managing neurological conditions. It is often considered for conditions like brain tumors, spinal disorders, traumatic injuries, and certain neurological diseases.

  • What types of conditions are treated by the Department of Neurosurgery?

    The department typically treats a wide range of conditions, including brain tumors, spinal disorders (such as herniated discs), neurovascular diseases (aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations), traumatic brain injuries, and congenital disorders.

  • How long is the recovery period after Neurosurgery?

    The recovery period varies depending on the type of surgery and the individual patient. Some patients may need only a few days of hospitalization, while others may require a more extended recovery period with rehabilitation.

  • What is the difference between a neurosurgeon and a neurologist?

    Neurosurgeons are trained in both surgery and neurology and perform surgical interventions on the nervous system. Neurologists, on the other hand, specialize in the diagnosis and non-surgical treatment of neurological disorders.
