Palliative Care & Rehabilitation:
Fast-track recovery programs and supportive care.
Rehabilitation to facilitate quick return to daily activities.
5. Trigeminal Neuralgia
Definition: Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic pain condition affecting the trigeminal nerve.
Symptoms and Signs:
Severe facial pain, often triggered by touch or movement.
Diagnosis:
Clinical evaluation and MRI to identify nerve compression.
Treatment:
Radio Frequency Ablation to alleviate pain.
Microvascular decompression to relieve pressure on the trigeminal nerve.
Palliative Care & Rehabilitation:
Pain management strategies and supportive care.
6. Epilepsy Surgery
Definition: Epilepsy surgery is performed to control seizures in patients who do not respond to medication.
Symptoms and Signs:
Recurrent seizures, varying in type and frequency.
Diagnosis:
Electroencephalography (EEG) to monitor brain activity.
Imaging studies to locate seizure foci.
Treatment:
Surgical resection or disconnection of seizure-producing brain areas.
Post-surgical follow-up for seizure management and functional recovery.
Palliative Care & Rehabilitation:
Ongoing seizure management and support for daily living adjustments.
7. Spine Surgery
Definition: Spine surgery addresses conditions affecting the spinal column and surrounding structures.
Symptoms and Signs:
Back pain, radiculopathy, limited mobility.
Diagnosis:
MRI and CT scans for spinal imaging.
Neurological exams for functional assessment.
Treatment:
Disc herniation treatments (e.g., discectomy).
Endoscopic and microsurgical discectomy for herniated discs.
Spinal fusion and instrumentation for stabilization.
Correction of scoliosis and kyphosis.
Palliative Care & Rehabilitation:
Post-surgical rehabilitation to restore mobility and function.
8. Movement Disorders
Definition: Movement disorders involve abnormal motor control, such as Parkinson’s disease and dystonia.
Symptoms and Signs:
Tremors, stiffness, difficulty with movement.
Diagnosis:
Clinical assessment and neurological evaluation.
Imaging studies for detailed brain examination.
Treatment:
Deep brain stimulation and other surgical interventions.
Medication management for symptom control.
Palliative Care & Rehabilitation:
Supportive therapies to enhance movement and daily function.
9. Brain Infections
Definition: Brain infections involve inflammation or infection of brain tissues.
Symptoms and Signs:
Headaches, fever, neurological deficits.
Diagnosis:
CSF analysis, MRI, and CT scans for infection identification.
Treatment:
Antibiotic therapy and surgical drainage if necessary.
Comprehensive management of infection and inflammation.
Palliative Care & Rehabilitation:
Supportive care and rehabilitation to aid in recovery and address residual symptoms.
