Medical Interests

Neurologs are specialists who deal with the diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases affecting the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nervous system, and muscles. Their areas of interest in this field can be quite broad and diverse.

Medical conditions frequently addressed by neurologists include:

Stroke: Conditions resulting from the interruption or reduction of blood flow to the brain.
Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA): Short-term disruption of blood flow to the brain.
Brain Hemorrhages: Bleeding within or around the brain (e.g., subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral hemorrhage).
Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST): Formation of clots in the veins of the brain.
Vascular Dementia: Dementia developing due to damage to the brain's blood vessels.

Parkinson’s Disease: A progressive neurological disorder characterized by tremors, muscle stiffness, and slow movement.
Essential Tremor: Involuntary shaking of the hands, head, or other body parts.
Dystonia: Involuntary muscle contractions that cause abnormal postures or movements.
Huntington's Disease: A progressive genetic brain disease.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS): A chronic disease caused by nerve damage in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).

Epilepsy: A brain disorder characterized by repeated seizures.

Migraine: Severe, pulsating headaches often accompanied by nausea and sensitivity to light.
Tension-Type Headache: The most common type of headache, often associated with stress.
Cluster Headache: Intense, cyclical headaches that occur in clusters.

Myasthenia Gravis: An autoimmune disease that causes muscle weakness.
Motor Neuron Diseases (MND): Progressive neurological disorders that lead to muscle weakness (e.g., Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis - ALS).
Muscular Dystrophies: Genetic disorders that cause progressive muscle weakness and degeneration.

Alzheimer’s Disease: The most common type of dementia.
Vascular Dementia: Dementia caused by damage to the brain’s blood vessels.
Frontotemporal Dementia: A form of dementia affecting the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain.

Insomnia: Difficulty falling or staying asleep.
Sleep Apnea: Interruption of breathing during sleep.
Restless Leg Syndrome: An uncomfortable sensation in the legs and an urge to move them.

Neuropathy: Damage to peripheral nerves leading to numbness, tingling, or pain.
Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS): Inflammation of peripheral nerves leading to muscle weakness.

Diagnostic Neurology Applications

Some common diagnostic neurology applications:

Taking the patient's history (symptoms, onset and duration, family history, medications, etc.)
Assessment of consciousness level, mental status, language functions, cranial nerves
Examination of motor functions (strength, coordination, reflexes) and the sensory system (touch, pain, temperature, vibration)
Examination of posture, walking, and balance

Computed Tomography (CT): Used to obtain cross-sectional images of the brain, spinal cord, and other structures.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Highly valuable in the diagnosis of conditions such as stroke, tumors, and multiple sclerosis due to better visualization of soft tissues.
Angiography: Used to visualize the brain's blood vessels; helps to identify conditions such as vascular obstructions, aneurysms, and AVMs.
Doppler Ultrasonography: Evaluates blood flow in the neck vessels (carotid and vertebral arteries).

Electroencephalography (EEG): Records brain waves and evaluates epilepsy, sleep disorders, and other brain function disorders.
Electromyography (EMG): Measures the electrical activity of muscles and nerves; helps to detect muscle diseases and nerve damage.
Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS): Evaluates the function of peripheral nerves; used in the diagnosis of conditions such as nerve entrapment and neuropathy.
Evoked Potentials (EP): Measures the electrical responses of the nervous system to specific stimuli (visual, auditory, somatosensory).

Lumbar Puncture (LP): A procedure performed to examine cerebrospinal fluid; used in the diagnosis of inflammatory or infectious diseases such as meningitis and multiple sclerosis.
Muscle or Nerve Biopsy: Rarely performed to obtain a sample from muscle or nerve tissue; helps to establish the definitive diagnosis of muscle diseases or neuropathies.

Performed to determine whether some neurological diseases (such as Huntington's disease, muscular dystrophies) are genetically inherited.

Used to evaluate sleep disorders such as sleep apnea and narcolepsy.

Evaluates cognitive abilities such as memory, attention, language, and executive functions; used in the diagnosis and follow-up of conditions such as dementia and traumatic brain injury.
