Movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, essential tremor and dystonia
Cerebral palsy and spasticity; hydrocephalus; metabolic and mitochondrial disease
Fatal and neonatal neurological problems; multiple sclerosis
Stroke, cerebral aneurysms, brain and spinal vascular malformations
Carotid stenosis
Intracranial atherosclerosis
Nerve and muscle diseases
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, peripheral neuropathy, myasthenia gravis and myopathies
Sleep disorders and mental/behavioural health disorders and chemical dependencies

The Neurosurgery service treats neurosurgical illnesses involving the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves including:

Brain tumours
Cerebrovascular
Spinal disorders
Neurotrauma
Pain surgery
Neuro-endocrinology (Pituitary Disorders)

Functional Neurosurgery including movement disorders

The Department of Neurology is backed up by a full-fledged Clinical Neurophysiology Laboratory performing clinical investigations including, but not limited to:

EMG
Nerve Conduction (NCS)
Evoked Potential (EP)
Video Electroencephalographwith prolonged Video EEG monitoring

The Clinical Neurophysiology Lab plays a vital role in diagnosis and treatment of various central nervous system diseases like demyelinating disorders, muscle and neuromuscular junction diseases like myopathies and myasthenia gravis as well as peripheral nerve diseases of various types. Evoked potential studies are useful in the diagnosis of various central and peripheral nervous system disorders. New tests like Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMP) have been evolved and performed here. They are extremely useful in treating patients with vertigo and disorders of balance. Video EEG is extremely useful in the diagnosis, classification and planning treatment for various types of seizures.

Our Neurology unit is equipped as well with vascular ultrasound capable of performing Trans Cranial Doppler (TCD) study used in monitoring and treatment of patients with acute cerebrovascular disorders like ischemic stroke, TIA, intracerebral haemorrhage, subarachnoid haemorrhage and raised intracranial pressure following head trauma.
