Neurology

Neurology deals with the damage to the central as well as peripheral nervous systems due to various neurological diseases. Indian hospitals are famed for their world-class expertise in handling neurological cases. We offer many personalized healthcare packages to help foreign patients get the best treatment at reasonable costs, for disorders such as spinal and head injuries, stroke, movement problems, brain tumors, headaches, seizures and so on. India is also known for specialized wellness rehabilitation therapies to help you get back to track fast.

Some popular neurological treatments available in India are:

Epilepsy

Epilepsy manifests by brief seizures, behavioral disorders, and losing consciousness. The diagnosis includes blood tests, CT scans, investigation into the genetic conditions that are linked to epileptic seizures, EEG, MRI, and SPECT tests. The objective of the investigations is because the doctors want to detect any abnormalities in the functioning of the brain. Your medical history plays an important role here. Treatment is via medication, surgery or stimulation of the Vagus nerve. A ketogenic diet is also advised. Wellness therapies might help in epilepsy cases, once the exact cause is determined.

Brain and Spine Surgery

Surgeries of the brain and spine are done to treat the various disorders including brain tumor removal. The state-of-the-art techniques involve radio neurological service, medical and oncology radiation therapies, neuro-intensive care facilities, and outstanding post-operative care. Excellent facilities in hospitals and clinics have made India one of the most favored destinations for spine and brain surgeries.

Surgery of the tumors of spinal cord

Spinal cord tumors put stress on nerves, causing intense pain, neurological disorder, and even paralysis. The surgery is performed by using a high-power microscope. The surgeon removes the intradural tumors, and in the total spondylectomy procedure, the entire vertebrae are extracted.

Surgeries for acute head and spinal injuries

The specialty clinics cover diagnosis, treatments and recovery. Treatment procedures include surgery as well as reconstruction done for cases of skull fracture, depressed, linear and basilar skull fractures. Severe, blunt and minor head injuries and trauma are handled expertly by Indian neurological surgeons.

Micro-neurosurgery

Micro-instruments and operating microscopes are used to treat some types of brain, spinal cord and spine disorders. The microscope magnifies the affected region to help in carrying out delicate surgeries, so that surrounding areas of the spine or brain are untouched. The recovery period and side effects are reduced, and so are associated costs related to hospital and hotel stays.

Surgery related to stroke and precautions

Indian hospitals have established a good reputation for dealing with cerebral infarcts or brain stroke. Hospitals offer stroke prevention packages that include carotid endarterectomy surgery. To aid in diagnosis, you may be asked for neurological tests, blood clotting tests, brain imaging test, echo and electrocardiogram. Your physician might suggest blood thinner as medication post-surgery.
