- Stroke and Paralysis Unit (A new hope)
- Stroke or paralysis is a blood vessel block or rupture of blood vessel in side the brain. Such a person usually has sudden change in speech, sudden loss of vision, sudden weakness of hands or legs, or sudden change in walking. Millions of people in our country suffer from this devastating disorder which has long been neglected in our society, but now there is good news… The Stroke and Paralysis Support Group ( SPSG ). The sole objective is to support stroke victims and their families physically and mentally, on a charitable basis. The unit has ICU type of beds, with cardiac monitor and pulse oxymeter, and Resident Doctors, efficient, experienced, hardworking dedicated staff nurses round the clock to take optimum care in Acute and chronic cases.

Department of Neurology:
Common problems:
- Headaches and migraines: These are common neurological conditions that can cause severe pain and discomfort in the head, neck, and face.
- Stroke: This occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, causing damage to brain cells. Symptoms can include sudden numbness or weakness, difficulty speaking or understanding speech, and trouble with vision.
- Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia: These are progressive neurological disorders that cause a decline in memory, thinking, and behavior.
- Parkinson’s disease: This is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement and can cause tremors, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination.
- Epilepsy: This is a neurological disorder that causes seizures, which can range from mild to severe.
- Multiple sclerosis: This is a chronic neurological disease that affects the central nervous system and can cause a wide range of symptoms, including muscle weakness, numbness, and difficulty with coordination and balance.
- Neuromuscular disorders: These are conditions that affect the muscles and the nerves that control them, such as muscular dystrophy, ALS, and myasthenia gravis.
- Traumatic brain injury: This can occur as a result of a blow or jolt to the head and can cause a wide range of symptoms, including headache, dizziness, confusion, and memory problems.

Department of Neuro Surgery:
Common Problems:
- Brain surgery: This involves the removal of abnormal or cancerous tissue from the brain, the repair of brain aneurysms, or the treatment of brain tumors.
- Spinal surgery: This involves the removal of abnormal or damaged tissue from the spinal cord, such as herniated discs or spinal stenosis, or the treatment of spinal cord injuries.
- Deep brain stimulation: This involves the use of electrodes to stimulate specific areas of the brain to treat conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, and dystonia.
- Endovascular procedures: This involves the use of minimally invasive techniques to treat conditions such as aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and stroke.
- Microvascular decompression: This involves the decompression of nerves that are compressed by blood vessels, which can relieve symptoms such as facial pain or tinnitus.
- Shunt procedures: This involves the placement of a shunt to drain excess cerebrospinal fluid from the brain in conditions such as hydrocephalus.
