Overview

VishwaRaj Hospital’s Centre for Neurosciences provides comprehensive evaluation and therapeutic services to a wide range of neurological conditions like Neurotrauma, Stroke, Brain Haemorrhage, Backache, Spinal Disorders, Neuro-Oncology, Epilepsy and other Neurological ailments. Under our Neuro Critical Care Program, we manage patients with life threatening neurological and neurosurgicalcritical illnesses.

Treatment & Services

There are various disorders of brain and spine that need urgent treatment or care. Some of the common disorders are:

Brain tumors

- A brain tumor is a mass of abnormal cells in your brain. Brain tumors can be of many types. Some of these tumors are noncancerous (benign), and some are cancerous (malignant). A brain tumor can begin in your brain (primary brain tumors), or cancer from other parts of the body can spread to your brain (called secondary brain tumors).

Spinal disorders

Spine is animportant part of the central nervous system of the body. Itcan have numerous disorders like Degenerative Intervertebral disc, Ligament Strain, Herniated disc, Spinal Stenosis and Bone spurs, Scoliosis or Spinal instability, Spinal infections, or Spinal tumors.

Stroke

It is a serious medical condition in which cerebral arteries are blocked or damaged causing injury to the brain. A stroke can be anticipated in a patient by symptoms like blurred vision, difficulty in speaking, confusion, severe headache, numbness, etc. A stroke needs urgent care by expert neurologists at Stroke hospital in order to prevent serious consequences.

Headache

- Headache is one of the most common types of health problem, related to a neurological disorder. Due to current lifestyle, stress has become a major cause of headache. There are various kinds of headaches like Tension headaches, Migraines, and Cluster headaches. If you experience a headache very rarely, than it is okay but if you experience a headache repeatedly, then you should visit a doctor at the earliest in a Neurology Hospital. Recurring headaches can indicate a serious underlying condition.

Parkinson’s Disease

- It is a disorder of the nervous system that affects the movement of the body. Parkinson’s Disease leads to constipation, impaired sense of smell, tremors, speech changes, muscle stiffness, etc. Your doctor may diagnose Parkinson’s Disease with the help of particular examination and tests.. Once diagnosed, it is often treated or managed by medications.

Seizures and Epilepsy

- It is a sudden disturbance in the electrical activities of the brain that results in abnormal body part movements and loss of consciousness. The seizures can occur just once or may appear repeatedly.. Repeated incidence or seizures is called epilepsy. It is important to see a doctor just after you experience the first seizure. Early detection and treatment can prevent loss of memory or damage in the brain. Epilepsy can occur due to a genetic disorder or because of some injury caused by stroke or trauma. It is mostly treated by medications and some dietary changes whereas in other cases surgery may be required

All About Neurosurgery & Neurology

Overview about Neurosurgery & Neurology

Treatments & Services

Neurology is the field of medical science that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of the disorders related to the brain, spinal cord and column, and peripheral nerves in all parts of the body.

We don’t pay attention to some of the daily automatic activities like waking up, breathing, thinking, remembering, reading, etc. Thanks to our nervous system that guides these activities on its own. Our nervous system is important for our overall well being and health. But any disorder or disease in this nervous system can shake up the whole system of our bodies.

It is a field that involves non-surgical treatments of all the disorders and diseases. The cases that need surgeries are then transferred to another sub-department called neurosurgery.

Since our hospital is located on the highway, we tend to receive a lot of road traffic accident cases with involvement of the brain and the nervous system. Keeping this in mind, we have ensured a robust Neurosciences department at VishwaRaj Hospital. This department, with its 2 branches, Neurosurgery and Neurology are highly competent to diagnose, operate, treat and care for all patients requiring urgent and excellent care.

In the department of Neurology and Neurosurgery, we investigate, examine, diagnose and treat all kinds of neurological disorders. Our team of expert neurosurgeons, neurologists, nurses, and clerical personnel are ever ready to provide the best treatment for neurological diseases.

Neurological Disorders and Diseases

There are various neurological disorders and diseases that need urgent treatment or care. Some of the common disorders are:

1. Headache - Headaches are one of the most common types of a health problem that is related to a neurological disorder. There are various kinds of headaches like tension headaches, migraines, and cluster headaches. If you experience a headache very rare than it is okay but if you experience a headache repeatedly, then you should visit a doctor at earliest. Recurring headaches can indicate a serious underlying condition.
2. Stroke - It is a serious medical condition in which arteries becomes impaired and cause damage in the brain. A stroke can be anticipated in a patient by some symptoms like blurred vision, trouble in speaking, confusion, severe headache, numbness, etc. A stroke needs urgent care by expert neurologists in order to prevent serious consequences.
3. Parkinson’s Disease - It is a disorder of the nervous system that affects the movement of the body. Parkinson’s Disease leads to constipation, reduced smell, shaking, speech changes, muscle stiffness, etc. Your doctor may diagnose Parkinson’s Disease with the help of some examination tests after seeing some of its symptoms. Once it is diagnosed, it is often treated or managed by medications.
4. Seizures - It is a sudden disturbance in the electrical activities of the brain that results in a change of the behaviour and feelings. The seizures can occur just once or can even occur again and again. When seizures come for more than once, that is what we called epilepsy. It is important to see a doctor just after you experience the first seizure. Early detection and treatment can prevent loss of memory or damage in the brain.
5. Epilepsy - It is a central nervous system disorder in which there is some disturbance in the brain’s activity that results in seizures. In this period there are abnormal changes in the behaviour, loss of awareness and sensations. Epilepsy can occur due to genetic disorder or because of some injury caused by stroke or trauma. It is mostly treated by medications and some dietary changes whereas in other cases surgery may be required.
