Neurointensive care and stroke management

  • Time is brain!!!! Because of the very short "golden period" when one can revert/prevent/halt the progression of any of the above mentioned pathologies, neuro critical care unit is trained to act promptly in a short time span so that vital functions of the part of central / peripheral nervous system which is on the verge of permanent damage can be resuscitated.

Paediatric Epilepsy Program-

  • Comprehensive care of the patients having epilepsy in childhood where treatment is not restricted to 'only' medical treatment but also comprises other aspects of cognitive and motor development, epilepsy surgery and neuropsychological rehabilitation.

Early diagnosis, prompt treatment and cognitive retraining can prompt modify and improve the child's mental & physical development. Early intervention is the keyword. This department also works closely with Metabolic and Genetic specialities to diagnose and treat some of the rare Metabolic Brain disorders of Childhood. Those children that have Behavioural problems, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Autistic Spectrum Disorder and Scholastic Backwardness and Development delay are assessed in this department and then referred to the Child Guidance Clinic.
