Neurology
 

The Department of neurology is an advanced neuro-care centre. It has the most advanced stroke care team taking care of hyperacute stroke with thrombolytic therapy, balloon angioplasty and carotid stenting. The stroke ICU and rehabilitation unit aid in fast recovery of the patient. Epilepsy is a major outpatient load with most modern EEG equipment, neuro-imaging including MRI, SPECT and CT scan. Both drug treatment and epilepsy surgery is done in selected cases. Movement disorder is treated with Botox toxin, Brain Stimulation and Baclofen intrathecal pump. Neuro otology, Neuro ophthalmology, Neuro Immunology, Neuro hematology, Neuro genetics and other specialized care units are also extending modern care. Sleep disorders are treated with the help of ENT and respiratory medicine departments. There is a specialized speech and language unit. Bladder disorders are treated in consultation with Urologist.
