Neurosciences

Neurosciences, a multidisciplinary field, encompasses the study, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders related to the brain and nervous system. Our Department of Neurosciences is at the forefront of advancing our understanding of the nervous system and providing compassionate, cutting-edge care to our patients.

Core Components of the Neurosciences Department

Our Department of Neurosciences comprises specialized units and expert teams, each focused on specific aspects of neurological care:

  • Neurology: Our neurologists are skilled in diagnosing and managing a wide range of neurological conditions, from epilepsy and stroke to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. They work closely with patients to develop personalized treatment plans.
  • Neurosurgery: Our neurosurgeons are experts in surgical interventions for neurological disorders. They perform intricate procedures such as brain tumor removal, spinal surgery, and deep brain stimulation for conditions like Parkinson's disease.
  • Neuroimaging: Our advanced neuroimaging unit utilizes state-of-the-art equipment to provide precise images of the brain and nervous system. This technology aids in diagnosing conditions and monitoring treatment progress.
  • Neurophysiology: Our neurophysiologists specialize in studying the electrical activity of the nervous system. They use techniques like EEG and nerve conduction studies to diagnose conditions such as epilepsy and peripheral neuropathy.
  • Neurorehabilitation: Our neurorehabilitation teams are dedicated to helping patients recover and regain function after neurological injuries or surgeries. They offer physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy to enhance the quality of life.


Specialized Services at Marengo Asia Hospital

Our Neurosciences Department offers a wide range of specialized services to meet the unique needs of our patients:

  • Stroke Center: Our Stroke Center provides rapid and expert care to individuals experiencing strokes, ensuring that they receive timely treatment to minimize damage and improve outcomes.
  • Epilepsy Clinic: We offer specialized care for individuals with epilepsy, including diagnostic testing, medication management, and surgical evaluations for cases of drug-resistant epilepsy.
  • Memory Clinic: Our Memory Clinic focuses on the diagnosis and management of memory disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.
  • Movement Disorders Program: We provide comprehensive care for patients with movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, offering a range of treatments, including deep brain stimulation.
  • Pediatric Neurology: Our pediatric neurologists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological conditions in children, ensuring that young patients receive age-appropriate care.

Auditory brainstem implant

Overview

An auditory brainstem implant provides hearing to people with hearing loss who can’t get help from a hearing aid or cochlear implant. This is commonly due to a missing small hearing nerve or a seriously abnormal inner ear (cochlea).

Awake brain surgery

Overview

Awake brain surgery, also named awake craniotomy, is a kind of surgery done on the brain, while the person is awake and alert. This procedure is done to treat some brain problems such as brain tumours or epileptic seizures.

Neuro Rehabilitation

Overview

Neurological rehabilitation (rehab) is a healthcare provider-assisted program mainly designed to help people with nervous system-related diseases, injuries, or disorders. A neurological rehab program can support patients to promote bodily functions, mitigate symptoms and enhance their overall well-being.

Carotid angioplasty and stenting

Overview

Carotid angioplasty and stenting are procedures that open clogged arteries in the brain to reinstate the blood flow. This procedure is often done to treat or avert the risk of strokes. The carotid arteries are situated on either side of the neck, these are the primary arteries supplying blood to the brain. Fatty deposits (plaque) can clog arteries that impede or slow down blood flow to the brain and the condition is known as carotid artery disease, which can lead to stroke.

Pediatric cervical spine surgery

Overview

Paediatric cervical spine surgery is a treatment used for treating children with injuries or abnormalities in the neck region of the spine. Cervical spine disorders may be seen at birth (congenital) or from an accident or other injuries.

Spine Surgery

Overview

Spine surgery is a surgical procedure performed by a neurosurgeon to correct structural abnormalities. Back injuries and those specific to the spine have become a huge concern, which is affecting most people. Ageing, over-exertion, and bad posture in daily activities are the main causes of this spine condition.

Spinal Fusion Surgery

Overview

Spinal fusion is a surgery done to permanently connect two or more vertebrae in the spine, removing movement between them. This surgery comprises specific techniques formulated to imitate the normal healing process of broken or damaged bones. During this surgery, your neurosurgeon keeps bone or a bone-like material within the space between two spinal vertebrae. Metal plates, screws, and rods are used to hold on the vertebrae together so that they can heal into one solid unit.

Stereotactic radiosurgery

Overview

This radiotherapy uses several accurately focused radiation beams to treat cancers and problems in the brain, neck, lungs, liver, spine and other regions of the body. Stereotactic radiosurgery is not surgery, as there’s no incision but instead uses 3D imaging to target high doses of radiation to the affected region with very less impact on the surrounding healthy tissue. It works by destroying the DNA of the targeted cells, reducing the ability to reproduce, and thereby making the tumours shrink. Stereotactic radiosurgery of the brain and spine is typically completed in one session.
