Neurology and Neurosurgery

Overview

The Neuroscience Department at Adi Arogyam Super Speciality Hospital is dedicated to providing cutting-edge care for patients with neurological disorders. Our team of experienced neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuro-interventionists, and allied healthcare professionals works together to deliver comprehensive treatment for a wide range of neurological conditions, using advanced diagnostic tools and the latest treatment methods.

Our Expertise

We specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system. Our department is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and offers expert care in the following areas:

• Neurology: Treatment for disorders of the brain and nervous system, including epilepsy, stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and neuropathy.

• Neurosurgery: Surgical interventions for conditions requiring surgical management, such as brain tumors, spinal cord injuries, and vascular malformations.

• Neuro-intervention: Minimally invasive, image-guided procedures performed by specialized neuro-interventionists to treat various neurological conditions, including brain aneurysms, arterial blockages, and other vascular disorders.

• Neurorehabilitation: Support for patients recovering from neurological impairments, focusing on improving quality of life and restoring independence.

Comprehensive Services

Our Neuroscience Department offers a range of services designed to address the complex needs of individuals with neurological conditions, including:

• Advanced Diagnostics:

  • MRI and CT Scans: Cutting-edge imaging techniques to detect abnormalities in the brain and spine.

  • EEG (Electroencephalogram): Used for diagnosing epilepsy and other brain disorders.

  • Neurophysiological Testing: Includes nerve conduction studies, EMG (Electromyography), NCV (Nerve Conduction Velocity), and RNS (Repetitive Nerve Stimulation) to assess the health of the nervous system and pinpoint the location and cause of neurological symptoms.

    • EMG (Electromyography): Measures the electrical activity of muscles to diagnose conditions like muscle weakness, nerve disorders, and neuromuscular diseases.

    • NCV (Nerve Conduction Velocity): Assesses the speed at which electrical impulses travel along the nerve, helping diagnose conditions like peripheral neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other nerve-related disorders.

    • RNS (Repetitive Nerve Stimulation): A diagnostic test used to assess the neuromuscular junction, often used in the evaluation of conditions such as myasthenia gravis and other neuromuscular disorders.

• Neurological Care:

  • Stroke Care: Acute stroke management, including thrombolysis and thrombectomy, along with rehabilitation and secondary prevention strategies.

  • Epilepsy Care: Comprehensive management, including diagnostic evaluation, medication, and surgical options for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.

  • Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders: Expert care and management options like deep brain stimulation (DBS) and medication management.

• Neurosurgery:

  • Brain Tumor Surgery: Minimally invasive and traditional techniques for the removal of brain tumors, guided by advanced imaging technologies.

  • Spinal Surgery: Surgical interventions for spinal cord injuries, herniated discs, and degenerative spinal diseases.

  • Neurovascular Surgery: Surgical treatment for aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and other vascular disorders of the brain and spine.

  • Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery: We utilize cutting-edge techniques such as endoscopic and keyhole surgery to minimize trauma and accelerate recovery.

• Neuro-intervention:

  • Endovascular Neurosurgery: Minimally invasive procedures performed by highly skilled neuro-interventionists to treat conditions like brain aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and other neurovascular disorders using catheter-based techniques.

  • Carotid Artery Stenting: A procedure to treat narrowing of the carotid artery to prevent stroke, performed with advanced imaging guidance.

  • Spinal Interventions: Image-guided interventions for spinal pathologies, such as disc herniation or vertebral fractures.

• Neurorehabilitation:

  • Physical Therapy: Targeted rehabilitation to improve mobility, balance, and strength following neurological conditions.

  • Speech Therapy: Assistance for patients with speech and swallowing difficulties caused by neurological disorders.

  • Cognitive Therapy: For those recovering from brain injuries or cognitive impairments due to stroke, dementia, or other neurological conditions.

State-of-the-Art Technology

Our Neuroscience Department is equipped with the latest technology to diagnose, treat, and manage neurological disorders with precision and accuracy. Some of the advanced technologies available include:

• High-Resolution MRI & CT Imaging: For accurate diagnosis and monitoring of neurological conditions.

• Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring: To ensure the safety of patients during spinal and brain surgeries by monitoring real-time brain and nerve activity.

• Advanced Neuro interventional Imaging: Cutting-edge imaging systems used for real-time visualization during neuro interventional procedures to ensure precision and safety.

Multidisciplinary Care Approach

We recognize that neurological disorders affect not only the body but also the mind and emotional well-being of our patients. Our team adopts a holistic approach to treatment, involving specialists from various fields to provide a comprehensive care plan. This includes collaboration with:

• Neurologists: Experts in medical management of neurological diseases.
