The department of Neurology is equipped with advanced diagnostic tools and state-of the art technologies that enable it to provide comprehensive care to patients suffering from various neurological disorders.
The department offers DM Neurology course (3 years) and Diploma in Neurotechnology course (2 years with yearly intake of 4 students). These programs provide advanced training for physicians and technologists in the field of Neurology and help to advance research and innovation in the field.
The Neurology ward is equipped with 21 beds.
The key services provided by the department include:
- Electroencephalography (EEG) – a test to diagnose and monitor epilepsy and altered states of consciousness
- Nerve conduction study and Electromyography used to diagnose disorders of peripheral nervous system such as carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathies and disorders of the muscle.
- Polysomnography used to diagnose sleep disorders
- Acute stroke care which involves the timely diagnosis and treatment of stroke patients. This includes the use of intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy to remove blood clots and restore blood flow to the brain. This is done with the help from the departments of interventional radiology and Neurosurgery.
