Neurology is a branch of medicine dealing with the nervous system and its disorders. Neurological disorders are disorders that affect the central nervous system brain, brainstem and cerebellum), the peripheral nervous system(peripheral nerves cranial nerves included), or the autonomic nervous system (parts of which are located in both central and peripheral nervous system). Major conditions of neurological disorders include headache disorders such as migraine and tension headache (cluster headache), epilepsy and seizure disorders, neurodegenerative disorders, the most common class being dementias, including Alzheimer's disease, cerebrovascular disease, such as transient ischemic attacks, and strokes(ischemic or hemorrhagic), sleep disorders, cerebral palsy, bacterial, fungal, viral and parasitic infections of the central nervous system (encephalitis), brain envelopes (meningitis) and peripheral nerves (neuritis), such as brain abscess,herpetic meningoencephalitis, aspergilloma, cerebral hydatil cyst, tetanus, botulism, neoplasms - tumors of the brain and its envelopes (brain tumors), spinal cord tumors, tumors of the peripheral nerves (neuroma), movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, chorea, hemiballismus, tic disorder, and Gilles de la Tourette syndrome, demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis, and of the peripheral nervous system, such as Guillain-Barrι syndrome and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), spinal cord disorders - tumors, infections, trauma, malformations (e.g. myelocele, meningomyelocele, tethered cord), disorders of peripheral nerves, muscle and neuromuscular junctions, traumatic injuries to the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves, Altered mental status, encephalopathy, stupor, coma and others. The hospital provides treatment for all the above-described neurological disorders. To aid in diagnosis it has the facilities of neurology investigations namely, electroencephalography (EEG), nerve conduction studies (NCS) and electromyography (EMG) as well as visual evoked potential (VEP) testing, Spiral C.T.Scanner and others. The treatment is provided by highly educated and experienced professionals. The discipline works in co-ordination with Neuro Surgery and Psychiatry. The hospital has a separate Critical Care Unit for care of patients requiring intensive care wherein treatment is provided by specialists intensivist. The neurology discipline is also supported by in-house Pathology and Radiology Lab. All kinds of pathology investigation including of clinical pathology, serology, biochemistry, cytology, hematology and histopthaology are done at the lab. The hospital has digitised radiology facilities which provides diagnostic facilities of digital X-Ray, Ultrasound - Sonography, Color Doppler including all types of peripheral Doppler and Close Circuit television Image Intensifier. All services are provided by highly educated and experienced professionals, round the clock. |
