Neurology and Neurosurgery

Neurology is the medical subspecialty that treats disorders of the nervous system. This includes diseases of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. Some of the more common problems that neurologists treat include :

• strokes
• epilepsy (seizures)
• headaches
• dementia (Alzheimer's disease)
• multiple sclerosis
• neuropathy
• Parkinson's disease, and
• various forms of pain

The department of neurology at our institutions has every facility for the investigation and treatment of diseases affecting the brain, spinal cord, muscles, and nerves.

The Department is equipped with EEG systems and equipments to monitor acute stroke. Treatment for intravenous as well as intra-arterial thrombolytic therapy for acute strokes is also available.

The Electrophysiology lab in the hospital has the most advanced system for carrying out necessary investigations like NCV including Evoked potential. The department also has an Intensive Care Unit, which is equipped with sophisticated intracranial monitoring facilities.

A team of renowned Neuro and ENT surgeons carry out Skull Base Surgeries. Our team of professionals is sought for treatment of benign and malignant lesions of the head and neck such as composite resection of the oral and oropharyngeal malignancies, total and partial laryngectomy, voice rehabilitation procedure, para nasal sinus surgeries, parotid surgeries and surgery for hypo-pharyngeal cancer.

Institute of Neuro Science

Our institutions' Institute of Neuro Science is the largest in the country. World-renowned consultants, backed by highly advanced and precise technology, manage it. Our outstanding clinical staff includes specialists in multiple sclerosis, pain management, spine and nerve pain, attention deficit disorder(ADD) and cerebral palsy.

Neurosurgery

The most sophisticated brain imaging techniques such as Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and Magneto-encephalography (MEG) are routinely employed as part of the department's evaluation and follow-up.

The highlights of the facilities available are:

• Dedicated Neurosurgical and Neuro Anaesthesia Team
• Diagnostics Department - is fully complete with facilities for Computerised Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Angiography.
• Operating Rooms -The neurosurgical theatres are ultra modern and equipped for all types of neurosurgical operations. Theatres have a laminar air flow system and are equipped with the latest ceiling mounted microscope with in-built still photography and video recording facilities. One of them also is capable with the optical tracking system (OTS). OTS allows the monitoring of the progress of surgery in real time. Residual tumors, haemorrhage etc. can all be visulised.
• The Intensive Care Unit-facility is equipped with the latest Modular invasive monitoring system (HP) and advanced life support equipment capable of managing complicated neurosurgical and neurological patients effectively. The nursing ratio is one to one. All associated specialists like respiratory physicians, nephrologists and endocrinologists are available round the clock.
