Neurology
This is the branch of medicine that deals with prevention, treatment, surgical procedures and rehabilitation of the disorders affecting the brain, nervous system, spinal cord, peripheral nerves and cerebrovascular system. The MRI, CAT scan and electroencephalography are diagnostic tests which surgeons ask to get done before surgery. We help our customers get treated at state-of-the-art hospitals renowned for neurology.
Some neurology treatments we facilitate are:
Spine and Brain Surgery
Spine and brain surgeries are done for treating tumors located in the brain and spine. The hospitals associated with us offer the latest treatments and techniques in the treatment of cancer tumors, medical radiation, radio neurology, neuro intensive care. The post-procedure and rehabilitation ensures the comfort and healing of patients.
Epilepsy
Losing consciousness, brief seizures, behavioral disorders are some of the epilepsy symptoms. To find out the reasons behind epilepsy, doctors suggest some tests such as SPECT tests, EEG, and MRI. These investigations help doctors detect any malfunctioning of your brain. The medical history plays an important role too. Treatment is with medication, vagus nerve stimulation or surgery.
Spinal Cord Tumor Surgery
Spinal cord tumors cause intense pain, neurological disorders and sometimes paralysis. Timely interventions including surgery help to recover and resume your earlier pain-free and active life. The surgeon uses high powered microscope to remove the tumor or tumors from spinal cord. Intradural tumors are removed and sometimes the entire vertebrae has to be removed.
Acute Spinal and Head Injury
In the case of severe damage to the head and spine, we offer procedures for the reconstruction of depressed, linear and basilar skull fractures. Our partner hospitals are staffed with reputed surgeons who are experts in the treatment of all types of blunt head trauma.
Micro-Neurosurgery
The delicate surgeries of the brain, spinal cord and spine are performed using micro-instruments as well as microscopes. The microscope and the micro-instruments work to magnify the area os the surgery, and the neurosurgeon operates only on the affected part of the brain. The surrounding areas are left untouched so the risk is much reduces. Micro-surgery is also cheaper than other methods of neurosurgery and associated costs such as hospital and hotel cost reduces too.
Stroke-Related Surgery
Hospitals on our medical tourism list provide high standard of surgery/treatment for cerebral infarcts or brain stroke. They offer other surgeries for prevention of stroke and if required, carotid endarterectomy surgery. For diagnosis purposes, physicians may suggest to you neurological tests, blood clotting tests, brain imaging test, echo test and electrocardiogram. Your doctor might suggest blood thinners after surgery.
