Epilepsy: Management of seizure disorders through medical therapy and surgical interventions like vagus nerve stimulation.
Stroke: Acute management and rehabilitation for ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes.
Multiple Sclerosis: Treatment of neurological symptoms and disease-modifying therapies.
Parkinson’s Disease: Medical management and deep brain stimulation for motor control symptoms.
Migraine: Diagnosis and treatment of chronic and episodic migraines through medication and lifestyle modifications.
Revascularization procedures restore blood flow to tissues affected by vascular conditions, such as blocked arteries
Myelography uses contrast dye and X-rays to visualize the spinal cord and nerve roots, aiding in diagnosing spinal disorders
Epilepsy neurosurgery involves various surgical techniques to control or reduce seizures in patients with epilepsy
Endovascular coiling treats brain aneurysms by filling the aneurysm with coils to prevent rupture
Cerebrospinal fluid diversion procedures, such as shunt placement, treat conditions like hydrocephalus by redirecting excess fluid
Botox injections are used for cosmetic purposes or to treat medical conditions like chronic migraines or muscle spasms
The Tensilon test diagnoses myasthenia gravis by temporarily improving muscle strength after administering a drug
Spinal fusion involves joining two or more vertebrae to stabilize the spine, often to treat spinal deformities or injuries
Stereotactic surgery uses 3D imaging to precisely target areas in the brain or other organs for treatment, such as in cancer or epilepsy surgery
Stereotactic surgery uses 3D imaging to precisely target areas in the brain or other organs for treatment, such as in cancer or epilepsy surgery
Various diagnostic tests and procedures are performed to assess and diagnose a range of medical conditions
VNS involves implanting a device to stimulate the vagus nerve, helping to control seizures or treat depression
Chiari decompression is surgery to relieve pressure on the brainstem and spinal cord caused by Chiari malformation.
Angioplasty involves widening narrowed arteries using a balloon, often followed by placing a stent to keep the artery open
Nerve conduction study measures the speed and strength of electrical signals in nerves to diagnose nerve damage
PET scan uses a radioactive tracer to visualize metabolic processes in the body, often used in cancer diagnosis
Craniotomy is a surgical procedure where part of the skull is removed to access the brain for treatment or diagnosis
CT scan is an imaging technique that provides detailed cross-sectional images of the brain and other body structures
Cerebral angiography visualizes blood vessels in the brain using contrast dye and X-rays to diagnose vascular conditions
MRI uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of the body’s internal structures, aiding in diagnosis
DBS involves implanting electrodes in the brain to treat movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease
Lumbar puncture, or spinal tap, involves collecting cerebrospinal fluid from the lower back to diagnose or treat neurological disorders
EEG records electrical activity in the brain to diagnose neurological conditions such as epilepsy
