Neurology

The Department of Neurosciences at the Citizens Specialty Hospital is one of the few centers with advanced diagnostic and procedural facilities for simple to complex neurological conditions. The Rehabilitation services offered by the department ensure rapid recovery and improved quality of life. The medical and paramedical staff at the department is highly experienced in diagnosing and managing neurological conditions, such as spinal disorders, brain tumors, stroke, hemorrhage, and epilepsy.

The department also offers comprehensive tests such as nerve conduction study (NCS) and electromyography (EMG), electroencephalogram (EEG) including video EEG, repetitive nerve stimulation, and evoked potential study.

Procedures to Treat You Better

Radiculopathy

Radiculopathy is also known as a pinched nerve. The condition may develop in different areas of the spinal cord, i.e., the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions. The symptoms of radiculopathy depend...

Stroke

A stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is hampered due to rupture or blockage of the blood vessels, resulting in a reduced or no supply of oxygen and nutrients to the brain tissues. A...

Movement Disorders

The movement of any muscle in our body involves the complex coordination between the muscles, nerves, and central nervous system. Damage to any of these components results in a movement disorder....

Neuralgia

Neuralgia is a condition characterized by a sharp pain along the path of a nerve. Neuralgia is caused by compression, damage, and injury to the nerve. There are various types of neuralgia depending...

Spondylosis

Spondylosis is a medical condition that occurs due to degeneration of the disc, the formation of bone spurs on the spine, or both. Patients with this condition have reduced movement ability and...

Neuropathy

Neuropathy is a condition characterized by pain, numbness, and tingling sensation due to nerve damage. Uncontrolled diabetes, nutritional deficiency, exposure to toxins, and excessive alcohol...

Facial palsy

Facial palsy generally occurs due to the weakness of the facial muscles. It primarily results from the permanent or temporary paralysis of the facial nerve. The face cannot receive the signals for...

Neuromuscular Disorders

The nervous system of the body controls muscle activity. When there is a problem in the muscles, the patient may experience muscular dysfunction. The causes of the neuromuscular disorder include...

Dementia

Dementia is the deterioration of memory, cognitive function, and problem-solving ability. It significantly affects the quality of life. The risk factors for dementia are age, family history,...

Pain

Pain is an unpleasant feeling characterized by pricking, tingling, stinging, and burning sensations. It may be mild or severe, persistent or intermittent, and acute or chronic. There are several...

Demyelinating disorders

Demyelinating disorders are the disorders where the myelin sheath is damaged. Myelin sheath is an insulating layer present on the nerve cells, and is made up of fatty substances and proteins. The...

Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by abnormal and uncontrolled muscle movement episodes. The cause of epilepsy is the generation of abnormal electrical impulses in the brain. There are...

Muscle Disorders

Muscles perform several functions in the body and allow the body to move. Several problems may affect the muscles, causing pain, weakness, and paralysis. Some causes of muscle disorders include...

What are the various surgical procedures performed by a neurosurgeon?

Various surgical procedures performed by neurosurgeons include anterior cervical discectomy, awake brain surgery, craniotomy, biopsy, neuroendoscopy, stereotactic brain surgery, lumbar puncture, Chiari decompression, laminectomy, endoscopic endonasal surgery, epilepsy surgery, spinal fusion, ventriculostomy, microdiscectomy, and ventriculoperitoneal shunt.

What are the warning signs of neurological diseases?

Some of the signs and symptoms that indicate the presence of neurological conditions are:

  • Tingling, pricking, or numbness, especially in the peripheral region
  • Rigidity in muscles
  • Double vision or vision loss
  • Complete loss or weakness in the muscle strength
  • Sudden onset of headache that may be persistent
  • Loss of memory
  • Lack of coordination and concentration
  • Seizures and tremors
  • Slurred speech

What are the common neurological conditions?

Some of the common neurological conditions are:

  • Acute spinal Cord injury
  • Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson’s disease
  • Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and a Ataxia
  • Brain tumors and cerebral aneurysm
  • Epilepsy and seizures
  • Guillain-Barré syndrome and Bell's palsy
  • Headache and head injury
  • Hydrocephalus
  • Lumbar disk disease (Herniated Disk)
  • Multiple sclerosis and meningitis
  • Muscular dystrophy and neurocutaneous syndromes
  • Stroke and myasthenia gravis
  • Cluster headaches, migraine headaches, and tension headaches
  • Encephalitis and septicemia

What are the various diagnostic techniques for neurological diseases?

Some of the diagnostic tests used for the identification of neurological conditions are laboratory tests, such as saliva, blood, urine, and other body fluids, electroencephalogram (EEG), CT scan, MRI, positron emission tomography (PET), electrodiagnostic, spinal tap (lumbar puncture), arteriogram (angiogram), neuro sonography, evoked potentials, nerve conduction studies, myelogram, and ultrasound (sonography).

How does the neurologist diagnose epilepsy?

The techniques for diagnosing epilepsy are neurological examinations, blood tests, high-density electroencephalogram, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) scan, positron emission tomography (PET) scan, functional MRI, and neuropsychological tests.
