HOW OUR NEUROLOGY DEPARTMENT CAN HELP:
An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a tangle of abnormal blood vessels in the brain or spinal cord. These abnormal blood vessels may have a higher risk of bleeding or rupture, which can lead to stroke or other serious complications. AVMs are present at birth and are thought to be caused by abnormal development of blood vessels in the brain or spinal cord during fetal development.
An aneurysm is a bulge or ballooning in the wall of a blood vessel. In the brain, an aneurysm can occur in any blood vessel, but they are most commonly found in the arteries at the base of the brain. If an aneurysm ruptures, it can cause bleeding in the brain (hemorrhagic stroke), which can be life-threatening.
Carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, and tarsal tunnel syndrome are all conditions that involve the compression of a nerve in a specific area of the body.
Diagnosis is undertaken via a variety of tests for these conditions, including a physical examination, imaging tests such as an MRI, and nerve conduction studies, which measure the speed and strength of nerve signals.
Depending on the severity of the condition, a neurologist may recommend a variety of treatment options, such as splinting or bracing to stabilize the affected area, physical therapy to improve strength and mobility, and medications to reduce inflammation and pain. In more severe cases, surgery may be necessary to release the compressed nerve.
These conditions can cause a variety of symptoms, such as numbness, tingling, weakness, and pain. A neurologist can help manage these symptoms through the use of medications and other therapies.
We also work with patients to provide education and advice on how to manage the condition and prevent further nerve compression, such as by avoiding certain activities or positions that may exacerbate the condition.
Diagnose and treat spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage and ischemic stroke caused by hypertension and atherosclerosis, as well as subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by ruptured Berry aneurysms. Emergency surgery for clot evacuation, decompression of major vessel ischemic strokes, clipping of ruptured aneurysms, and endovascular coiling of aneurysms by specialist Interventional Radiology are all options for treatment.
If a patient with a slipped disc is referred to a neurologist, the neurologist will be responsible for evaluating the patient's condition and developing a treatment plan. This may involve ordering additional tests, such as imaging studies, and recommending various treatment options, such as medications, physical therapy, or surgery. The neurologist will also be responsible for managing the patient's symptoms and coordinating care with other members of the healthcare team as needed.
Compressions of the spinal cord are conditions in which the spinal cord becomes squeezed or pressed upon by surrounding structures, such as bone or soft tissue. This can occur due to various reasons, including spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal), herniated discs, fractures, or tumors. Compressions of the spinal cord can cause a variety of symptoms, such as weakness, numbness, and pain in the arms or legs. In severe cases, they can lead to paralysis.
The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body, running from the lower back through the buttocks and down the legs. Sciatic nerve pain, also known as sciatica, occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes compressed or irritated. This can cause a variety of symptoms, such as pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness in the lower back, buttocks, and legs.
There are several potential causes of sciatica, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal), and degenerative disc disease. A neurologist can help diagnose and treat sciatica by performing MRI & CT scans and recommending treatment such as surgery.
Diagnosis and treatment of peripheral nerve entrapment syndromes, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tarsal tunnel syndrome, and cubital tunnel syndrome, as well as decompressive surgery.
Diagnosis and treatment of all types of hydrocephalus in the elderly and children, as well as newborn spine abnormalities and myelomeningocele. Shunting of Cerebrospinal Fluid as needed, as well as surgical correction of newborn spinal abnormalities, are all part of the treatment plan.
Neurologists work closely with neurosurgeons to diagnose and manage neurological conditions in children. This may involve performing neurological exams, ordering imaging studies, and prescribing medications to help manage symptoms.
In addition, a neurologist can provide ongoing care and support for children who have undergone neurosurgery. This may involve coordinating with other members of the healthcare team, such as physical therapists and rehabilitation specialists, to ensure that the child receives the best possible care. The neurologist may also be responsible for monitoring the child's progress and adjusting treatment as needed.
Intracranial hypertension, also known as increased intracranial pressure (ICP), is a condition in which the pressure inside the skull becomes too high. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including bleeding in the brain, brain swelling, or a buildup of fluid in the brain (hydrocephalus).
Intracranial hypertension can cause a variety of symptoms, including headache, nausea, vomiting, and vision problems. If left untreated, it can lead to serious complications, such as brain damage or even death.
A neurologist can help with non-harmful intracranial hypertension by identifying the underlying cause of the condition and developing a treatment plan to address it. This may involve medications to reduce swelling or fluid buildup, or procedures to drain excess fluid from the brain. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to address the underlying cause of the intracranial hypertension.
Microsurgery, endoscopy, 3D imaging, navigation and neuromonitoring in the operating room.
If a patient has a tumor in the brain, spine, or pituitary gland, a neurologist can help in several ways:
Diagnosis and treatment of all types of brain and spine tumors, including convexity supra-tentorial tumors, tumors of the skull base, intra-orbital tumors, and infra-tentorial posterior fossa tumors; trans-sphenoidal approach to pituitary tumors; and laminectomy for microscopic resection of extra-dural tumors, including intra-dural – extra-medullary and intra-dural – intra
Symptom management: Tumors in these areas can cause a variety of symptoms, such as headaches, seizures, weakness or numbness in the limbs, and vision problems. A neurologist can help manage these symptoms through the use of medications and other therapies.
Coordination of care: Working closely with other members of the healthcare team, such as oncologists (doctors who specialize in cancer treatment) and neurosurgeons (doctors who specialize in surgery on the brain and spinal cord), to coordinate the patient's care and ensure that all appropriate treatment options are being considered.
Lumbar disc disease, degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis, spondylolysis, and spondylolisthesis. Diagnosis and treatment. Decompressive laminectomy, interbody fusion, spinal instrumentation, all options for evidence base medicine, as well as conservative approaches including pain treatment.
Cervical disc disease, degenerative cervical spinal stenosis, and spondylosis. Diagnosis and management. Conservative treatments and, when necessary, surgery such as anterior cervical discectomy, anterior cervical fusion, decompressive cervical laminectomy, and posterior cervical fixation are used to treat the condition.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT
NEUROLOGY
Neurology and neurosurgery are both medical specialties that focus on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect the nervous system. However, they differ in their approaches to care.
Neurology is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Neurologists are medical doctors who are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of neurological conditions, including stroke, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease, using medications and other non-surgical treatments.
Our Neurosurgery clinic in Dubai, on the other hand, is a surgical specialty that focuses on the surgical treatment of conditions that affect the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Neurosurgeons are trained to perform a variety of surgical procedures, including brain surgery, spinal surgery, and surgery to repair nerve damage.
Some of the most common neurological conditions include stroke, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease. Other common neurological conditions include Alzheimer's disease, headaches, and sleep disorders.
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement. It is caused by the death of cells in the brain that produce a chemical called dopamine.
Early symptoms of Parkinson's disease can include tremors, stiffness, difficulty moving, and problems with balance and coordination.
You can learn more about Parkinson's disease by visiting the website of a reputable health organization, such as:
US National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)
These organizations have a wealth of information on Parkinson's disease, including its causes, symptoms, and treatment options.
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disorder that affects memory, thinking, and behavior. It is the most common cause of dementia in older adults.
Early symptoms can include memory loss, problems with language, disorientation, mood swings, and changes in judgment.
You can learn more about Alzheimer's disease by visiting the website of a reputable health organization, such as:
Demyelinating disorders are conditions that damage or destroy the protective covering (myelin) that surrounds nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord.
This damage can disrupt the communication between the brain and the rest of the body. Some common demyelinating disorders include multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica.
A neurologist can diagnose demyelinating disorders through a variety of tests, including MRI, CT scans, and spinal taps.
Comprehensive care treatment options may include medications, physical therapy, and rehabilitation.
Highly qualified neurologists can help diagnose and treat a wide range of sleep disorders, including insomnia, sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, and narcolepsy.
Treating sleep disorders may include medications, lifestyle changes, and other therapies.
Usually, they may start with a series of tests that a neurologist uses to assess a patient's nervous system.
During the examination, the neurologist will ask the patient about their medical history and any symptoms they are experiencing. The neurologist will also conduct a physical examination, which may include tests of the patient's muscle strength, reflexes, and coordination.
Other tests may include imaging scans, such as an MRI or CT scan, and electrophysiological tests, such as an electroencephalogram (EEG).
Cluster headaches are a type of headache that is characterized by severe, recurrent pain that is usually centered around one eye.
The exact cause of cluster headaches is not fully understood, but they may be related to changes in patients brain chemicals or blood vessel constriction in the head.
Treatment options for cluster headaches depend largely on each individual patient, may include medications, oxygen therapy, and preventative measures to reduce the frequency of attacks.
Movement disorders are conditions that affect the ability to control movement. Some examples of movement disorders include Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and dystonia.
A neurologist at hospital Dubai can diagnose movement disorders using a variety of tests, including imaging studies, nerve conduction studies, and electromyography. When it comes to treating movement disorders, patients options may include medications, physical therapy, and in some cases, surgery.
Behavioral disorders are a group of conditions that affect an individual's behavior and can cause significant distress or impairment in daily functioning.
Some examples include attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
Physical exams, medical history assessments, and psychological testing can help with diagnosis whilst treatment options may include medications, counseling, and behavioral therapy.
Headache disorders are a group of conditions that cause chronic or recurrent headaches. Headache disorders are very common, with an estimated 50% of the general population experiencing headaches at some point in their lives.
Neurologists can diagnose headache disorders using a variety of methods, including physical exams, medical history assessments, and imaging studies. Treatment options for headache disorders may include medications, lifestyle changes, and relaxation techniques. In some cases, more aggressive treatments, such as injections or nerve blocks, may be necessary.
Yes, neurologists can help. Neck pain is a common complaint that can be caused by a wide range of conditions, including muscle strains, spinal abnormalities, and nerve problems. Neurologists are medical doctors who are trained to diagnose and treat conditions that affect the nervous system, including those that cause neck pain.
During an evaluation for neck pain, a neurologist will perform a physical exam and may also order imaging studies, such as an MRI, to help determine the cause of the pain. Treatment options may include medications, physical therapy, and in some cases, surgery. If you are experiencing neck pain, it is important to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis and to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is classed as one of the chronic, autoimmune neurological disorders that affect the central nervous system (CNS). The immune system mistakenly attacks the myelin sheath, a protective layer that surrounds nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord, causing inflammation and damage. This damage disrupts the communication between the brain and the rest of the body, leading to a wide range of symptoms.
The onset of multiple sclerosis can occur at any age, but it is most commonly diagnosed in people between the ages of 20 and 50.
Symptoms of MS can vary widely, but may include problems with muscle control and strength, sensory problems, and problems with vision. In some cases, MS can also cause cognitive problems, such as difficulty with memory and concentration.
There is no cure for multiple sclerosis, but a variety of treatment options are available to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Treatment options for MS may include medications, physical therapy, and rehabilitation. In some cases, more aggressive treatments, such as immunotherapy, may be necessary. It is important to work closely with a healthcare team, including a neurologist, to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
