Early signs may include persistent headaches, dizziness, memory loss, numbness or tingling, muscle weakness, difficulty speaking, vision changes, or seizures. If you notice any of these symptoms, consult a neurologist immediately for evaluation.
You should consult a neurologist if you experience unexplained headaches, seizures, sudden vision or balance issues, tremors, chronic pain, cognitive changes, or symptoms suggestive of a stroke. Early diagnosis leads to better outcomes.
A neurologist diagnoses and treats neurological conditions using medications and non-surgical interventions. A neurosurgeon performs surgical procedures for brain, spinal cord, and nerve-related conditions. Both often work together for comprehensive care.
Acute ischemic stroke is treated with intravenous thrombolysis (rt-PA) within 4.5 hours or mechanical thrombectomy for large vessel occlusions up to 24 hours, depending on imaging. Baby Memorial Hospital offers 24x7 stroke code activation and rapid intervention.
Neurological assessments may include MRI, CT scan, EEG, video EEG, EMG, nerve conduction studies, lumbar puncture, and blood tests. These help diagnose epilepsy, neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, and other complex conditions.
Yes. Most people with epilepsy can achieve good control with medications. Some patients with drug-resistant epilepsy may benefit from surgical evaluation. Our hospital offers advanced diagnostic services, including long-term video EEG and epilepsy surgery planning.
Neuropathy can be caused by diabetes, infections, autoimmune diseases, or nutritional deficiencies. Treatment includes managing the underlying condition, pain relief, physical therapy, and nerve-specific medications.
Some forms of memory loss, such as those due to vitamin deficiencies, thyroid disorders, or depression, are reversible. However, neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s are progressive. Early diagnosis helps manage symptoms and slow progression.
Symptoms include tremors, muscle stiffness, slow movements, balance problems, and changes in speech or handwriting. Our neurology team provides comprehensive Parkinson’s care including medication, therapy, and surgical options like Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS).
Yes. We offer integrated neurorehabilitation for stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and neurodegenerative conditions. This includes physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and psychological counselling.
