Neurology

Neurology is a specialised field of medicine dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Neurological disorders range from common conditions such as migraines and epilepsy to complex diseases like stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and multiple sclerosis.

Accurate diagnosis plays a critical role in neurological care. Advanced investigations such as MRI scans, CT scans, EEGs, and nerve conduction studies help specialists identify conditions early and plan targeted treatment. Leading hospitals offer comprehensive neurological care using modern technology, minimally invasive techniques, and internationally accepted treatment protocols.

Treatments in Neurology

Brain Tumour Treatment

Brain tumour treatment depends on the tumour’s size, type, and location. Care may include surgery, radiation therapy, or advanced techniques to remove or control tumour growth while protecting surrounding brain function.

Cranioplasty

Cranioplasty is a surgical procedure to repair or replace a portion of the skull removed due to injury or previous surgery. It helps protect the brain, restore head shape, and support neurological recovery.

Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs)

AVMs are abnormal connections between arteries and veins in the brain. Treatment aims to prevent bleeding and may include surgery, targeted radiation, or minimally invasive procedures based on the condition’s complexity.

CyberKnife Treatment

CyberKnife is a non-surgical radiation treatment that precisely targets brain tumours or abnormal tissues. It delivers high-dose radiation without incisions, reducing damage to healthy tissue and supporting faster recovery.

Gamma Knife Radiosurgery

A non-invasive, high precision radiation therapy, used to treat brain tumors, vascular malformations, and certain nerve disorders without incisions, offering faster recovery and minimal damage to surrounding brain tissue.

VP Shunt Surgery

VP shunt surgery treats excess fluid buildup in the brain by inserting a thin tube to drain fluid safely into the abdomen. This helps relieve pressure and improve symptoms such as headaches or vision problems.

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Surgery

DBS surgery involves placing electrodes in specific brain areas to control abnormal signals. It is commonly used to reduce symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, tremors, and movement disorders when medications are not effective.

Brain Aneurysm Treatment

Brain aneurysm treatment prevents rupture of weakened blood vessels. Options include surgical clipping or minimally invasive coiling to reduce the risk of bleeding and protect brain health.

Hydrocephalus Treatment

Hydrocephalus occurs when fluid builds up in the brain. Treatment focuses on relieving pressure through shunt placement or endoscopic procedures, helping improve balance, vision, and daily functioning.

Craniotomy

Craniotomy is a surgical procedure where a small section of the skull is temporarily removed to access the brain. It is performed to treat tumours, bleeding, injuries, or other neurological conditions.

Epilepsy Surgery

Epilepsy surgery is considered when seizures cannot be controlled with medication. The procedure targets the brain area causing seizures to reduce their frequency and improve overall quality of life.

VNS Surgery (Vagus Nerve Stimulation)

VNS surgery involves implanting a device that sends mild electrical signals to the vagus nerve. It helps reduce seizure frequency in patients with epilepsy who do not respond to standard treatments.
