Neurology


At our center; by using examination and advanced imaging methods, brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, muscle and skeletal system diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders are possible.

Neurological Diseases:

1. Headache: Everyone at least once in his life suffer from headache. Headache may occur of sinusitis, ear (otitis) and tooth infections, neck hernia, hypertension, stress, fever, brain tumors, meningitis, or bleeding between brain and its membranes. Some of these are life-threatening conditions. Moreover, the group of migraine headache in the population has a high percentage. To call it a migraine, exclusion of any other reason is necessary. As diagnosis methods, brain imaging and EEG are important.

a-      Migraine
b-     Tension headache
c-      Chronic headache
d-     Cluster headache
e-     Temporal (giant cell) Arthritis
f-       Benign Intracranial Hypertension
g-      Trigeminal Neuralgia
h-     Indomethacin responsive headaches
 
2. Epilepsy: Is a clinical syndrome that may occur at any age. Reasons might vary. Epilepsy continue in various aspects of seizures. Seizure types are extremely variable and even a simple muse might be an epileptic seizure. Adult-onset seizures may be linked to brain tumors. Therefore, brain imaging must be performed in such cases. EEG examination in the diagnosis of epilepsy is the best method applied at our polyclinic.

3. Cerebral Vascular Diseases (Paralysis and Apoplexy): They are the third most seen diseases in neurology. It can be linked to cerebral hemorrhage or brain vessel occlusion. Numbness on one side of the body, weakness, numbness in the tongue and lips might be the reason for cerebral vascular disease.

4. Multipsclerosis (MS): Especially seen at young age, it is a disease with very different findings. Dizziness, numbness in the arm, leg weakness, and seeing in double vision are such examples.In diagnosis, brain imaging is extremely important.

5. Amnesia (Demans) and Alzheimer’s Disease: Specifically seen at older age. It can develop due to brain tumor and endocrinal diseases, lack of B12 and cerebral vascular diseases. It is also important in diagnosing degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Related studies are helpful in diagnosis.

6. Dizziness and Balance Disorders: It may be due to less blood supply to balance center of the brain depending on vascular stiffness. Brain imaging methods are very important in diagnosis.

7. Facial Palsy: Shifting of mouth to one side and inability to wink. Treatment should start at earliest

8. Parkinson’s Disease: Hand tremors, gait disorders, and signs of limitation of motion are associated with this disease.

9. Slipped Disc- Sciatica: It is a disease associated of back pain and weakness hitting leg. Imaging techniques and EMG are used in diagnosis.

10. Peripheral Nerve Diseases

11. Brain Tumors: Occurs of weakness on one side of the body and numbness. Imaging methods are extremely valuable in diagnosis.

12. Cerebral Hemorrhage

13. Peripheral Nerve Diseases: It is common especially with diabetes and endocrine diseases. Associates with numbness and tingling of hands and feet, also burns. EMG examination is very important in diagnosis.
