The centre for Neuro sciences offers a comprehensive care for brain and nervous system with the team of acclaimed neurologists, Neuro surgeons, technicians with most advanced technology and procedures.

The centre has the following sections -

Neurology

 Provides non-surgical treatment of brain and nervous system. Neurologists provide routine care and management to patients with nervous system disorders using non-surgical approaches, such as medications, electrical stimulation treatment and other therapies. They do not perform surgery.

Key Diseases

• Alzheimer's Disease
• Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
• Ataxia
• Bell's Palsy
• Brain Tumours
• Cerebral Aneurysm
• Epilepsy and Seizures
• Guillain-Barré Syndrome
• Headache
• Head Injury
• Hydrocephalus
• Lumbar Disk Disease (Herniated Disk)
• Meningitis
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Muscular Dystrophy
• Neurocutaneous Syndromes
• Parkinson's Disease
• Stroke (Brain Attack)
• Encephalitis
• Septicaemia
• Myasthenia Gravis

Key Procedures & Technologies

• DBS: Deep Brain Stimulation - is an elective surgical procedure in which electrodes are implanted into certain brain areas
• EEG: Electroencephalography - a test that detects electrical activity in brain using small, metal discs (electrodes) attached to scalp
• Video EEG: Video Electroencephalography (2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours) - A video EEG records on video tape while an EEG test records your brainwaves
• EMG: Electromyography - measures muscle response or electrical activity in response to a nerve's stimulation of the muscle
• NCV: Nerve conduction velocity - measures how fast an electrical impulse moves through the nerve
• SSEP: Somatosensory evoked potentials – it measures the electrical activity of the brain that results from the stimulation of touch.
• BERA: Brainstem auditory evoked response – This test records brainwaves in response to clicks or other audio tones that are played and measures how brain responds to sound heard.
• VEP: Visual evoked potentials – This test is measured by playing a visual that will stimulate activity
• ERG: Electro-retinography – it measures the electrical response of the eye's light-sensitive cells, called rods and cones

Neuro Surgery

Provides surgical treatment of brain issues and also other body parts impacted by nervous system like spine. Neurosurgeons on the other hand provide surgical treatment and rehabilitation of advanced complex disorders that impact any component of the nervous system, specialising in neurological and spine surgery.

Key Diseases

• Trauma to the brain and spine
• Aneurysms
• Blocked arteries
• Chronic low-back pain, birth defects
• Tumors in the brain and spinal cord
• Peripheral nerve issues like carpal tunnel syndrome, brachial plexus injury, peripheral nerve tumors, injuries etc
• Tuberculoma
• Brain Abscesses
• Hydrocephalus

Key Procedures

• Acoustic neuroma surgery – This surgery is performed in collaboration with neurosurgeons and neurologists who specialize in the inner ear or bones. The surgery involves removing tumour through inner ear or through a window in skull.
• Skull base surgery – This is a specialized type of surgery performed by neuro surgeons that focuses on treating conditions at the base of the skull. It is a highly specialized, minimally invasive surgical technique.
• Cerebrovascular surgery – This form of surgery deals with repairing of the blood vessels that supply oxygen to the brain. These may include microsurgery, endovascular surgery, or radiosurgery.
• Neuro-oncology – The branch of neuro oncology is the study of brain and spinal cord neoplasms. A team of high skilled professionals at the hospital approach each patient with empathy and care in recognition of the particular needs.
• Pituitary surgery – This form of surgery is the most common technique used to remove pituitary tumours which is located at the bottom of the brain and above the inside of nose.
• Neuro-endoscopy – This is a minimal invasive surgery in which a surgeon removes the tumour through small incisions in the skull. Neuro-endoscopy gives access to surgeons to those parts of the brain that cannot be reached via the traditional forms of surgery.
• Minimally invasive neurosurgery – It refers to any form of surgery that is less invasive that a normal surgery. The minimally invasive neurosurgery uses small flexible lighted tubes to visualize various parts of the brain.
• Peripheral nerve surgery – It involves cutting-edge surgical treatment for pain caused by injury or compression of brain.
