1. Understanding Neurology and Neurosurgery

1. Neurology: Neurology focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. Neurologists at ITM Hospital specialize in the management of disorders like:

• Stroke
• Epilepsy
• Parkinson’s Disease
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Headaches and Migraines
• Neuropathy (Nerve Disorders)
• Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease

2. Neurosurgery: Neurosurgery involves surgical intervention for conditions affecting the brain, spine, and nerves. Neurosurgeons at ITM Hospital perform a wide range of procedures, from minimally invasive surgeries to complex operations, such as:

• Brain Tumors
• Spinal Disorders
• Cerebrovascular Disorders (Aneurysms, AVMs)
• Trauma or Injury to the Nervous System
• Epilepsy Surgery
• Herniated Discs and Spinal Stenosis

Both neurology and neurosurgery work hand in hand to provide integrated care, where early diagnosis and timely interventions can prevent complications and improve outcomes.

2. Conditions We Treat

At ITM Hospital, Gwalior, we use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to ensure accurate and early diagnosis:

1. Stroke:

A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted. Timely intervention is crucial for minimizing brain damage. Our stroke specialists provide expert care, including thrombolytic therapy and post-stroke rehabilitation.

2. Brain Tumors:

Tumors in the brain can cause a wide range of neurological symptoms, including headaches, seizures, and vision problems. Our experienced neurosurgeons perform advanced surgeries, such as tumor resection or stereotactic radiosurgery, to remove or shrink tumors.

3. Epilepsy:

Seizures can be debilitating, and epilepsy may require a combination of medical treatment and, in some cases, surgery. At ITM Hospital, we offer advanced treatments for seizure control, including neurostimulation devices and epilepsy surgery.

4. Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders:

Parkinson’s Disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement. Our team provides the latest therapies, including medications, deep brain stimulation, and lifestyle support, to help manage symptoms.

5. Spinal Disorders:

Conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and spinal cord injuries can cause severe pain and mobility issues. Our neurosurgeons perform minimally invasive spine surgeries, such as microdiscectomy and spinal fusion, to alleviate pain and improve function.

6. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI):

TBI from accidents or injuries can have long-lasting effects. ITM Hospital’s neurosurgery team specializes in emergency surgery, rehabilitation, and post-operative care to help patients recover and regain their independence.

3. Advanced Diagnostics at ITM Hospital:

To ensure precise diagnosis and effective treatment, ITM Hospital employs state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, including:

• MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): Essential for imaging the brain and spine to detect tumors, strokes, or other neurological conditions.
• CT Scans (Computed Tomography): Helps identify brain injuries, bleeds, or tumors.
• EEG (Electroencephalogram): Monitors brain electrical activity and is essential for diagnosing epilepsy and seizures.
• EMG (Electromyography) and NCS (Nerve Conduction Studies): These tests assess nerve and muscle function, crucial for diagnosing conditions like neuropathy and muscle disorders.
• Angiography: Used for identifying blood vessel abnormalities, such as aneurysms or AVMs.
