Neurology &Neurosurgery
- Neurology and Neurosurgery are medical specialties dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles.
- Neurology focuses on non-surgical care of neurological conditions such as migraines, epilepsy, stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and neuropathies.
- Neurosurgery involves surgical treatment of conditions like brain tumors, spinal cord injuries, herniated discs, aneurysms, hydrocephalus, and traumatic brain injuries.
- Neurologists provide comprehensive evaluations including neurological examinations, brain scans (MRI, CT), EEG, and nerve conduction studies to detect abnormalities.
- Neurosurgeons use advanced techniques such as minimally invasive brain and spine surgery, endoscopic surgery, and image-guided navigation for precise treatment.
- Stroke care is a key focus area, involving rapid diagnosis, clot-busting medications, interventional procedures, and rehabilitation for recovery.
- Pediatric neurology addresses conditions in children such as epilepsy, developmental delays, cerebral palsy, learning difficulties, and congenital brain malformations.
- Spine surgery within neurosurgery treats slipped discs, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, fractures, and spinal cord compression, helping restore mobility and relieve pain.
- Neuro-oncology specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of brain and spinal tumors, often combining surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
- Neurology also manages chronic conditions like migraines, neuropathic pain, and movement disorders with medications, rehabilitation, and advanced therapies.
- Neurocritical care provides intensive monitoring and treatment for patients with life-threatening neurological emergencies such as brain hemorrhage, trauma, or coma.
- Neurology and Neurosurgery work together to offer comprehensive care — from diagnosis to surgery and rehabilitation — ensuring patients receive the best outcomes for complex neurological conditions.
