The Department of Neurology has been functioning from the inception of the hospital i.e. 07-04-2008 headed by Dr. V. Satyanarayana MD., DM. from the beginning. Later on Dr.A.Lalitha DNB., DM (Neuro) joined as a team member. The emergency Neurology cases are attended by these doctors throughout the year.  In addition, the critical care doctors in AMCU (Acute Medical Care Unit) also attend to these patients.

 

The Neurosurgery department is doing a variety of complex brain and spinal procedures. The Outcome of complex cases like Clipping of Aneurysms and Endoscopic surgeries made the department a premium center for Neurosciences in the city.

 

The Neurology Department is particularly famous for treating acute repetitive seizures and Status Epileptics.  For eligible patients, intravenous thrombolysis is routinely done.  For eligible patients Dr. V. Sujatha, the Cardiologist does Carotid Angioplasty.  The Department saved many patients from a dreadful disorder – Guillen Barre Syndrome. Infections of the nervous system are well attended to in AMCU, and Laboratory services are very useful in this regard.

 

The SIEMENS 32 Slice CT Machine is an asset for Radiology Department and doing routinely CT Brain, Abdomen, chest and others. 

Routine blood levels of anti-epileptics are very useful in resistant epilepsy cases and especially in emergency epilepsy cases.
