Neurological Conditions
We Treat
Comprehensive Treatment for All Neurological Conditions
The Neurology Department at GIMSH Hospital specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of neurological disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Our team of experienced neurologists and neurosurgeons provides evidence-based treatment for both common and complex conditions.
Stroke (Cerebrovascular Accident)
A stroke occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is blocked, either by a blood clot or by bleeding in the brain. Immediate treatment is crucial to minimize brain damage.
Symptoms (FAST): Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, sudden vision loss.
Treatment: Thrombolytic therapy (clot-busting), mechanical thrombectomy, rehabilitation.
Epilepsy & Seizure Disorders
A chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures caused by a sudden surge of electrical activity in the brain.
Symptoms: Sudden jerking movements, loss of consciousness, confusion, muscle stiffness.
Treatment: Anti-seizure medications, surgical intervention, targeted lifestyle management.
Parkinson's Disease
A progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting movement and coordination due to the impairment of dopamine-producing nerve cells.
Symptoms: Tremor (shaking), rigidity, bradykinesia (slowness), postural instability.
Treatment: Levodopa/medication management, deep brain stimulation (DBS), physical therapy.
Migraine & Headache Disorders
Severe, recurrent headaches that significantly impact quality of life, often accompanied by visual disturbances, nausea, and extreme sensitivity to stimuli.
Symptoms: Throbbing one-sided pain, aura, nausea, photophobia (light sensitivity).
Treatment: Preventive medications, acute abortive treatments, Botox injections, lifestyle mods.
Brain Tumors
Abnormal growths of cells in the brain that can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), originating primarily or spreading from other parts.
Symptoms: Worsening morning headaches, vision problems, balance issues, seizures.
Treatment: Neurosurgery (craniotomy/endoscopic), radiation therapy, chemotherapy.
Spinal Cord Disorders
A range of conditions affecting the spinal cord and nerve roots, including spinal stenosis, herniated discs, tumors, trauma, and infections.
Symptoms: Back/neck pain, radiating limb pain, weakness, numbness, loss of bladder control.
Treatment: Conservative physical therapy, spinal decompression, fusion, tumor removal.
How We Diagnose Neurological Conditions
