Neurosurgery is a medical speciality that deals with health problems related to the brain, spinal cord and spinal column and peripheral nervous system of the body, in both adults and children. At Chirayu Hospital, the neurosurgeons not only perform major brain and spine surgeries, but also treat the patients suffering from back or neck pain, neuralgias, epilepsy, trauma/ injury, Parkinson’s disease, etc through surgical and non-surgical methods.
Neurological disorders are medical conditions that affect the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. These disorders can lead to serious impairments as result of structural, biochemical, or electrical abnormalities in the nervous system. According to the best neurologist doctor in Jaipur, neurological disorders can affect movement, cognition, sensation, and overall bodily functions.
Brain Tumour: It is a condition which causes abnormal growths of cells within the brain, which can be benign or malignant. Common symptoms include headaches, seizures, and cognitive or sensory impairments and specific symptoms depend on the tumour's location and size.
Stroke : The blockage or bleeding leads to interruption in the blood supply to a particular part of the brain which causes the cells to die. The condition can result in weakness, paralysis, speech difficulties, and other neurological impairments.
Epilepsy : It is a neurological disorder caused by the abnormal electrical activity in the brain and often results in recurrent and unprovoked seizures. It varies in type and severity, affecting motor, sensory, and cognitive functions.
Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia : With Memory loss as the most commonly found symptom, Alzheimer is a progressive brain disorder causing cognitive decline, and behavioural changes. These conditions result from the buildup of abnormal proteins in the brain, leading to the death of brain cells and loss of brain function.
Cerebral Palsy : This neurological disorder damages the brain during birth or before birth results and hampers muscle movement and tone. Symptoms can include spasticity, uncoordinated movements, and developmental delays.
Parkinson's Disease : A degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that primarily affects motor function, leading to tremors, muscle rigidity, and slowed movements.
Multiple Sclerosis: An autoimmune disease, in Multiple Sclerosis, the immune system attacks the central nervous system. This leads to communication problems between the brain and the body, resulting in symptoms like muscle weakness, coordination issues, and vision problems.
Neuropathy: It is a neurological disorder that causes damage or dysfunction of one or more peripheral nerves, resulting in symptoms like numbness, tingling, pain, and muscle weakness. The condition can be a result of diabetes, infections, injuries, and other ailments.
Migraine and Other Headaches : Migraines can be referred to as severe, recurrent headaches often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Migraines are thought to involve complex brain and nerve changes and can significantly impact daily life.
MRI and CT Scans: At the best neurology hospital in Jaipur,advanced imaging technologies such as MRI and CT Scans are used to visualize the brain and spinal cord to detect abnormalities, tumours, or structural issues.
Electroencephalogram (EEG): Conditions like epilepsy and other seizure disorders can be diagnosed using EEG which measures electrical activity in the brain.
Lumbar Puncture (Spinal Tap): Cerebrospinal fluid is collected using this method and it is analysed for potential infections, multiple sclerosis, and other conditions.
Craniotomy: It is a surgical procedure where a part of the skull is removed to access the brain. It is used to treat brain tumours, haemorrhages, aneurysms, traumatic brain injury, and brain infections.
Peripheral Nerve Surgery : This is the surgical procedure to repair or decompress peripheral nerves that are damaged or compressed. The treatment approach is adopted in case of Peripheral nerve injuries and carpal tunnel syndrome.
Laminectomy: This procedure is used to treat spinal stenosis, herniated discs, and spinal tumours. It involves surgical removal of the back part of a vertebra, called lamina to release pressure on the nerves and spinal cord.
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS): Certain kinds of diseases like Parkinson's disease, epilepsy and, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are treated using the surgical procedure that involves implanting electrodes into specific areas of the brain.
Spinal Fusion: It is a procedure where two or more vertebrae are permanently joined together using bone grafts, screws, and rods. Spinal instability, severe degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, and fractures are some of the conditions that are treated using this method This eliminates motion between the vertebrae and stabilizes the spine.
