Neurology is a medical field that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and
management of disorders related to the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves,
neuromuscular junction, and muscles. At MGS Hospital, the Department of
Neurology is dedicated to providing top-notch care to patients through

recognized evidence-based protocols.
The Department of Neurology at MGS Hospital is well-equipped to handle chronic
neurological cases, regular outpatient visits, as well as emergencies like convulsions,
stroke, head trauma, change in mental status/coma, intracranial hemorrhage,
myasthenic crisis, and infections. The department's competence is further supported
by its state-of-the-art Neuro ICU facilities, Bi-plane cath labs, and bedside Electro
Encephalogram (EEG) Monitoring to manage patients with neurological illnesses.
A team of highly skilled and experienced specialists is available round the clock to
provide the best possible care to patients, and the department uses cutting-edge
imaging modalities like 3T MRI and CT scan to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of
various neurological disorders.
The Department of Neurology at MGS Hospital provides treatment for various
disorders, including all types of primary headaches, especially migraines and
secondary headaches, and stroke, which is considered a medical emergency caused
by the blockage or rupture of brain vessels.
It's crucial to identify the symptoms of a

double vision, difficulty in swallowing or slurring of speech, loss of voice, or not being
able to understand or amnesia.
