Expert Neurological Care at Prakriya Hospitals

A medical emergency caused by the interruption or reduction of blood flow to the brain. This results in the loss of brain cells due to the lack of oxygen. The loss of brain cells can lead to the loss of motor skills and speech.

A central nervous system disorder characterized by abnormal brain activity. This results in seizures, unusual behaviors, unusual feelings, and loss of consciousness.

A group of disorders involving the loss of muscle functions in one or more muscles. These disorders are often caused by damage to the spinal cord or brain, which results in the inability of the brain to send messages to the rest of the body.

A group of disorders involving problems with the quality, timing, and amount of sleep. These disorders include insomnia and sleep apnea.

A disease in which the immune system attacks the protective covering (myelin) surrounding nerve fibers. This results in “short circuits” in the communication process between the brain and the rest of the body.

Accidents and injuries might result in spine or spinal cord injuries, which might cause paralysis. The treatment for a spine or spinal cord injury includes removing pressure from the spine and preventing further nerve damage.

If a stroke occurs because of a bleed, the blood clots might be removed, and for ischemic stroke, a mechanical device might be inserted into the brain vessel and then removed with a blood clot. These surgeries, called 'brain time,' must be conducted immediately.

Tumors, which might be malignant or benign, might put pressure on the delicate nervous tissues. The treatment for a brain or spine tumor includes precise mapping and removing the tumor while maintaining major motor and mental functions.

This is a minimally invasive technique that requires making a very small hole or using a natural orifice, like the nostrils, and inserting a thin, flexible endoscope. This minimizes damage and accelerates the healing process.

An aneurysm is a weak spot in the vessel, and an AVM is a tangle of blood vessels. Both have a high risk of rupture, which might be fatal. The treatment for an aneurysm or an AVM includes clipping or coiling.

If medication for epilepsy is ineffective, a surgeon might operate and remove the part of the brain that triggers a seizure. In some difficult cases, a neuromodulation device might be implanted that sends electrical impulses that interfere with seizure activity.

When the intervertebral discs herniate or deteriorate, nerves can be pinched, resulting in pain and weakness. A discectomy, a surgical procedure to remove the affected disc, can cure the disease.

It involves stabilizing the spine by inserting instrumentation, e.g., rods, screws, and plates, in the spine. It is often accompanied by spinal fusion to correct deformities, fractures, or instability in the spine.

An abnormal accumulation of extra cerebrospinal fluid in the brain, contained in the ventricles, results in a dangerous increase in intracranial pressure. A shunt, a device to divert the fluid to other body parts, is the preferred treatment.

Spinal deformities, e.g., Spina Bifida or a tethered cord, are present at birth and require urgent treatment to protect the spinal cord as the child grows.

Infections, e.g., brain abscess or meningitis, are serious diseases characterized by brain inflammation or pus formation in certain parts of the brain. Antibiotics are the preferred treatment to cure the disease.
