What are Neurological Disorders?

Neurological Disorders impact the nervous system, which comprises the brain, spinal cord, and nerves that connect them to other body parts. The nervous system controls everything from walking or talking to breathing or blinking.

Neurological disorders can affect any part of the nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord. Common neurological disorders include Alzheimer's, Epilepsy, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's, and Traumatic Brain Injury.

Manipal Hospitals has the best neurologist in Delhi. Furthermore, we also have the best neurosurgeons in Delhi for diagnosis and treatment of neurological conditions like:

Acute Stroke
Alzheimer's Disease
Parkinson's Disease and related disorders
Paediatric and Adult Epilepsy
Cerebrovascular Diseases
Neuromuscular Diseases
Cognition Disorders
Multiple Sclerosis
Demyelinating Disorders

Common Neurological Disorders

Acute Stroke

An Acute stroke is a sudden disruption of blood flow to the brain that can cause permanent damage to brain cells. It is an emergency that needs immediate medical attention.

The signs and symptoms of an acute stroke may include:

Sudden weakness
Numbness in the face
Numbness on one side of the body
Confusion or trouble speaking or understanding speech
Trouble seeing in one or both eyes
Dizziness, loss of balance or coordination

Cerebrovascular Diseases

Cerebrovascular diseases affect the brain and spinal cord. Problems with the blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to the brain are the primary cause of Cerebrovascular diseases. Blood vessels can become blocked or narrowed, which may cause a stroke. Blood vessels can also weaken and rupture, leading to bleeding into the brain (Hemorrhagic Stroke).

Epilepsy

Epilepsy causes seizures and is characterised by repeated, uncontrolled surges of electrical activity in the brain, which can cause various symptoms, including convulsions, loss of consciousness and sensory disturbances.

Seizures are either focal or generalised, depending on where they start in the brain. Focal seizure originates in one brain part and may or may not spread to other areas. Generalised seizures occur when an abnormal electrical discharge occurs throughout both brain hemispheres.

Several causes of Epilepsy include:

Genetic factors
Brain damage from high fevers or infections (especially in children)
Infections such as meningitis or encephalitis

Neuromuscular Diseases

Neuromuscular diseases affect the nervous system and the muscles. They range in severity from mild to life-threatening and can be inherited or acquired.

The symptoms of neuromuscular diseases vary from person to person and may include weakness, muscle stiffness, fatigue and loss of coordination.

Acquired Neuromuscular diseases include Guillain-Barré Syndrome, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, and Miller-Fisher Syndrome.

Inherited Neuromuscular diseases include Friedreich's Ataxia (FA), Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT2A), Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), and Dystrophinopathy.

Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson's disease affects movement and balance and deteriorates progressively. The loss of dopamine-producing brain cells causes it. The most common symptoms include tremors (shaking), stiffness, slow movement, and balance problems. Symptoms typically worsen over time and may eventually interfere with daily activities like walking, talking, or getting dressed.

In addition to these symptoms, it is possible to have depression or anxiety due to Parkinson's disease.

Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's is a neurodegenerative disorder that causes memory loss, cognitive impairment and behavioural problems. It is the most common cause of Dementia among older adults.

Alzheimer's disease can be diagnosed with a complete medical history and physical exam, brain imaging tests and blood tests.

In addition to treating Alzheimer's, managing behaviours related to dementia symptoms is essential, which includes teaching the loved ones how to manage tasks such as bathing themselves or remembering where they put their keys.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Multiple Sclerosis is a disease of the central nervous system. It causes inflammation, scarring, and damage to the myelin sheath (an insulating layer) surrounding nerve fibres in the brain and spinal cord. MS leads to problems with muscle control, balance, sensation, vision, bladder control, and bowel function.

An autoimmune disorder, MS may result from tolerance of myelin in the immune system.

People with Multiple Sclerosis may experience one or more symptoms at any given time:

Numbness or tingling in arms or legs
Weakness or loss of balance or coordination
Spasticity (stiffness and tightness) in arms and legs
Blurred vision
Painless eye movements (nystagmus)
Double vision

Demyelinating Disorders

Demyelinating disorders are conditions in which the myelin sheath, the fatty covering of nerve fibres, is damaged. This damage can cause symptoms such as muscle weakness, paralysis and numbness. Demyelinating disorders fall into two main categories: those that occur due to genetic mutations and those that occur due to external factors, such as an infection or injury.

The most common form of Demyelinating disorder is Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

Less common types of Demyelinating disorder include Optic Neuritis (inflammation of the optic nerve), Transverse Myelitis (Spinal Cord inflammation), and Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM).

Diagnosis Facilities

EEG

EEG (Electroencephalogram) measures the brain's electrical activity. The test works by placing electrodes on the scalp, allowing doctors to see how the brain works.

EEG diagnoses Epilepsy and other neurological disorders and monitors sleep patterns.

MRI

MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging, a diagnostic test that uses a magnetic field to produce images of the body's internal structures.

It detects cancerous and non-cancerous tumours, evaluates damage to bones, muscles and ligaments caused by trauma or disease, and diagnoses neuro conditions such as Stroke.

MRI scans are non-invasive; they do not require the injection of contrast dyes and provide detailed images of the entire body.

CT Scan

A CT (Computed Tomography) scan uses X-rays to assess the internal organs, bones and blood vessels. The table on which the patient lies slides into a tunnel-shaped device known as a scanner. The machine rotates around the patient while an X-ray beam rotates around the body from many directions, producing cross-sectional images of the body's internal structures projected onto a screen for viewing by a radiologist. CT Scan diagnoses and treats various diseases and conditions, including Traumatic Brain Injury and Stroke.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound produces images of the body's internal structures in a non-invasive way using high-frequency sound waves. These images are called sonograms and can be used to diagnose neurological disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis, Brain Tumors, and Strokes. Ultrasound also helps in Obstetrics, Gynaecology, Cardiology, Ophthalmology and Dentistry.

Lumbar Puncture

Lumbar Puncture is a procedure to diagnose neurological disorders. The procedure involves inserting a needle through the skin and Spinal Canal. The needle then draws out Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) from around the spinal cord, which is analysed to determine abnormalities.

EMG

Electromyography (EMG) uses electrical impulses to evaluate the health of the nerves. It determines the cause of nerve damage or pain and is often used to diagnose neurological disorders like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

NCS - Nerve Conduction Study

Nerve Conduction Studies diagnose neurological disorders. When an electrical impulse stimulates a nerve, electrodes on the skin detect the resulting action potential. The time this signal takes to reach the recording electrodes is then measured and displayed as a graph. This graph determines whether there is any impairment in the conduction of action potentials along the nerve fibre.

Electrophysiology Lab

The Electrophysiology lab at Manipal Hospitals, Delhi, provides the best neurologist in Delhi with high-precision Electroencephalogram (EEG), Video Telemetry, and Electromyography (EMG) scans, allowing them to diagnose neurological disorders with advanced precision.

3-Tesla MRI

The 3-Tesla MRI is a type of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) that uses a magnetic field to generate high-quality images of the brain and other body parts. 3-Tesla MRIs are more powerful than older versions, which use 1.5 Tesla or lower and provide more detailed images with greater clarity and less noise. The 3-Tesla MRI can detect abnormalities in brain tissue and small lesions in other body parts. It diagnoses neurological disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

PET-CT

PET-CT is a non-invasive, radiation-free imaging technique that detects and diagnoses neurological disorders. It combines the best features of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Computerised Tomography (CT).

The PET part of the test examines blood flow in the brain, which can help doctors determine whether there is an abnormality in metabolism or blood flow in specific brain areas. The CT part of the test allows for detailed imaging of structures within the body using X-rays.

Molecular Diagnostics

Molecular Diagnostics detects, identifies, or quantifies a sample's target nucleic acid sequence. There are many categories of molecular diagnostics, including genotyping and phenotyping. Genotyping can be used to identify the presence of a particular genetic marker, while phenotyping can determine the function of a gene product.

Molecular Diagnostics diagnose neurological disorders such as Parkinson's and Huntington's disease by identifying specific mutations in their genes that cause these diseases or by looking at differences in chromosomes between healthy individuals and those with these diseases.

Treatment Facilities

Memory Clinic

A memory Clinic is where patients experiencing memory problems get an evaluation by a team of Neurologists, Psychotherapists, and Neuropsychologists. The clinic offers early diagnosis and treatment to stop deterioration in Dementia along with identifying disorders that might be contributing to Dementia.

Stroke Management

When someone suffers a stroke, they need to seek immediate medical treatment to reduce the patient's risk of death and ensure the best chances of recovery. A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain stops due to an obstruction – frequently a blood clot, but sometimes an artery can rupture. Treatment depends upon the severity of the Stroke and may include surgery.

Neuro Intensive Care

Neuro Intensive Care is a subspecialty of Critical Care Medicine that focuses on treating patients with neurological disorders. It is an interdisciplinary approach to patient care involving physicians such as Neurologists, Neurosurgeons, and Intensivists.

Neuro Intensive Care combines medical and surgical treatments with nursing care and other supportive therapies to treat various nervous system disorders. Contact us now to get the finest treatment at the best neurology hospital in Delhi.
