Diagnostics in neurosurgery

Our clinic is equipped with modern digital equipment that allows high-quality and accurate diagnostics of pathologies, as well as complex manipulations on the nervous system.

To establish a diagnosis, the following examination methods are used:

1. Computed tomography (CT). It clearly shows solid structures, hematomas. It is necessary to detect cracks, fractures in bones, hemorrhages, including hemorrhagic stroke.
2. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Indispensable if you want to examine soft tissues in detail. Optimal for detecting ischemic stroke, tumors, vascular pathologies, abscess, hydrocephalus, destructive changes in the spinal column.
3. Lumbar puncture. The doctor collects the cerebrospinal fluid - the contents of the spinal canal. Its chemical composition and impurities help to identify tumors of the brain or spinal cord, hemorrhage, meningitis, encephalitis and other inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system.
4. Myelography. A contrast agent is injected into the spinal canal, followed by a series of images. Shows tumors, hernias, inflammatory diseases of the meninges.
5. Doppler ultrasound scan.
6. Cerebral angiography. With the help of contrast, the vessels of the brain become clearly visible. Helps in the diagnosis of tumors, the consequences of trauma, infectious diseases, vascular anomalies.
7. Electromyography (EMG). Shows muscle friendliness in response to stimulus. In neurosurgery, it is relevant for hyperkinesis and other manifestations of inflammatory diseases, tumors and injuries of the central nervous system associated with impaired nerve conduction. It is also used for large hernias, nerve root entrapment.
8. Electroencephalography (EEG). The method of fixing the bioelectric potentials of the brain. It is used for convulsive syndrome of unknown origin - the EEG shows whether it is caused by epilepsy or whether another problem should be suspected. It can be a tumor, edema, inflammation, the consequences of TBI - accordingly, the treatment tactics will differ.
9. Echoencephalography (echo-EG). This is an ultrasound of the brain. A survey method used at any age, including babies in the first days of life. On the screen, the doctor sees a picture formed on the basis of the rate of reflection of the ultrasound signal from the brain structures. Echo-EG reveals hydrocephalus, swelling, hemorrhage, gross developmental disorders.

Here you can visit a neurosurgeon, be examined, perform an operation, undergo rehabilitation. It is very convenient: you do not need to visit several medical institutions, waste your time.
