A stroke or brain attack is a condition in which the brain cells suddenly die due to a lack of oxygen. It can be caused by an obstruction in the blood flow or the rupture of an artery that feeds the brain. The Department of Neurology and Stroke provides timely treatment available with minimally invasive treatment options.

A headache or cephalalgia refers to pain anywhere in different areas of the head or neck. This includes the nine pain-sensitive structures, which include the cranium (the periosteum of the skull), muscles, nerves, arteries and veins, subcutaneous tissues, eyes, ears, sinus and mucous membranes.

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive condition that leads to shaking (tremors) and difficulty with walking, movement, and coordination. Symptoms may be mild at first, but attention is required to manage its symptoms. At the Max Institute of Neurosciences, our experts are experienced in treating and managing Parkinson’s Disease.

A brain tumour is an abnormal growth of cells/tissue within the brain or the skull vault. Brain tumours may be benign or malignant; the team at Max Institute of Neurosciences is fully equipped to treat those with a range of diagnostic and therapeutic technologies and personalised treatment plans.

In multiple sclerosis, the communication within the brain, and between the brain and body is disrupted. It is caused by damage to the myelin sheath, a protective covering that surrounds nerve cells. Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, unpredictable and often disabling disease which affects the central nervous system, spinal cord and optic nerves. It is categorised as an autoimmune disease caused by the immune system attacking and damaging the nervous system.

Seizures are episodes of disturbed brain function, caused by abnormally excited electrical signals in the brain. Epilepsy is not a psychological illness, and it is a term used to describe recurrent seizures caused by increased firing in the brain cells resulting in short-circuiting of the brain circuits.

Neuromuscular conditions is a broad term that encompasses many diseases and ailments that impair the functioning of the muscles. These may directly involve the muscle directly or indirectly by involving the nerves or the Neuromuscular junction (the meeting point of the motor nerves and muscle fibre).

The spine makes up an important part of the nervous system and conditions that affect the brain may also be related to the spine and certain spinal conditions may have neurological causes. The Max Institute of Neurosciences is equipped to deal with conditions like Sciatica, inflammatory, autoimmune, degenerative diseases and more.

Paediatric Neurology is a speciality that deals with the diagnosis, treatment and management of neurological conditions caused by genetic and environmental factors or trauma and more, present among infants, children, adolescents and young people.

Deep brain stimulation is a new form of therapy that includes implanting electrodes in select parts of the brain to help regulate abnormal signals using electrical impulses. It is used to treat conditions like movement disorders like Tremor, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy and more.

Craniotomy is a procedure used for diagnosing and treatment for several conditions like aneurysms, tumours, hematomas, swelling of the brain, and more. It includes surgically removing a part of the skull to expose the brain to conduct diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The portion of the skull that is removed is put back in place after the procedure.
