Neurology
Neurology is a branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to the brain, spinal cord, nervous system and muscles. In the Neurology Department of Private Jimer Hospital, our Neurology specialist evaluates each patient's condition individually in light of the latest scientific developments and determines the most appropriate treatment method for the diagnosis, providing the highest level of health service to our patients. Our goal is to diagnose neurological diseases early, apply the right treatment methods and increase the quality of life of our patients. We are with you for your nervous system health.
What Diseases Does the Neurology Department Deal With?
The neurology department diagnoses and treats many different diseases and conditions that affect the nervous system and muscles. The most common neurological diseases include:
- **Migraine and Headache**: Migraine is a chronic neurological disease characterized by recurring and severe headaches. Migraine can manifest itself with symptoms such as sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and sometimes flashes of light and blurred vision.
- **Epilepsy**: Epilepsy is a disease characterized by seizures that occur as a result of abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Epileptic seizures can occur with symptoms such as loss of consciousness and convulsions.
- **Stroke**: The condition in which sufficient blood flow to the brain is not provided due to blockage or bleeding in the cerebral vessels is called a stroke. Depending on the affected brain area, paralysis manifests itself with a wide variety of symptoms such as weakness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking, vision loss, memory impairment, and loss of balance. Early intervention is extremely important in the treatment of stroke.
- **Parkinson's Disease**: Parkinson's disease is a disease characterized by symptoms such as slowing down of movements, tremors and balance problems, which occur as a result of the loss of dopamine-producing cells in the brain.
- **Multiple Sclerosis (MS)**: MS is a chronic disease that causes damage to the nerves as a result of the immune system attacking the central nervous system. It manifests itself with symptoms such as vision problems, muscle weakness, loss of balance and fatigue.
- **Muscle and Nerve Diseases (Neuromuscular diseases)**: It manifests itself with symptoms such as loss of strength, muscle pain, cramps, spasms, twitching, muscle atrophy, numbness, insensitivity, tingling, burning, stinging, pins and needles, drooping eyelids, fatigue that increases during the day, double vision, difficulty swallowing and speaking. Among the most common neuromuscular diseases; motor neuron diseases [(Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)], peripheral nerve diseases [(Familial and acquired neuropathies (diabetic neuropathy, immune neuropathy)], muscle-nerve junction diseases (Myasthenia Gravis, Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome, Congenital myasthenic syndromes), muscle diseases (Myopathies) [(Hereditary muscle diseases (muscular dystrophies), Acquired muscle diseases (myositis)]] can be listed.
- **Dementia (senility) **: It can manifest itself with deterioration in memory and thinking ability, attention and decision-making, language and speech centers. While some diseases with dementia have no definitive treatment and make it impossible to return to the old state (such as Alzheimer's), some are diseases that can be improved with treatment (such as thyroid diseases, vitamin deficiency). Alzheimer's disease, dementia due to vascular occlusion, Parkinson's Dementia due to disease, Lewy body dementia, Frontotemporal dementia, Creutzfeld-Jacob disease, normal pressure hydrocephalus, Huntington disease, tumors, infections, vitamin deficiencies and hormone diseases are diseases accompanied by dementia.
- **Neurophthalmological diseases**:; examines the relationship between the eye and the brain and evaluates common diseases of the eye and nervous system. It manifests itself with symptoms such as vision loss, narrowing of the visual field, color vision disorders, a shadow that cannot be seen in the visual field, double vision, pain around the eye, different sizes of the pupils, facial contractions, headache and drooping eyelids.
