DISEASE AND CONDITIONS

disease and conditions

Vertigo: When there occurs disturbance in the inner ear it gives a feeling of spinning or feeling off-balance. The fluid in the inner ear is responsible for maintaining our balance and spatial orientation. 
Epilepsy: Epilepsy is a challenging condition to manage, and is responsible for causing seizures and short periods of unusual behaviour, sensations, loss of consciousness at times, and abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Epilepsy can cause a variety of symptoms, such as convulsions, loss of consciousness, and abnormal movements or sensations. 
Spasticity: Living with spasticity can be challenging, as the condition causes stiffness and involuntary muscle spasms or contractions. It is generally an outcome of damage to the nervous system which could include a stroke, spinal injury or similar condition.
Neurofibromatosis: It is a genetic disorder that causes tumours to form on the nerves throughout the body. There are two main types of neurofibromatosis: type 1 (NF1) and type 2 (NF2) and the treatment may include surgical removal of tumours or other interventions to manage symptoms.
Dementia: This progressive neurological condition affects the human memory, ability to think and gives rise to behavioural issues as well. Those suffering from it could also have difficulty with language and communication, confusion, and more.
Tourette Syndrome: This neurological disorder generally occurs between the age group of 2 to 15 years, and is characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics.  
Lambert Eaton Syndrome (LES): LES is a rare autoimmune disorder that affects the neuromuscular junction. It is the point where nerves connect with muscles but when it gets damaged it affects the nerve cells that control the muscle movement.
Pediatric Neurosurgery: The stream focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of neurological conditions in children, ranging from newborns to adolescents. These conditions can include brain tumours, congenital malformations, spinal deformities, epilepsy, hydrocephalus, and traumatic brain injury, among others.
