Head injury refers to any trauma to the scalp, skull, or brain, ranging from mild concussions to severe traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Causes of head injuries include falls, accidents, sports injuries, or violent incidents. Symptoms may vary depending on the severity, including headaches, dizziness, memory loss, or unconsciousness in severe cases. Immediate evaluation and treatment are essential to prevent complications like brain swelling, bleeding, or long-term cognitive issues. Our specialized medical team provides comprehensive care for head injuries, including diagnosis, surgical intervention if necessary, and rehabilitation to support recovery and restore quality of life.

Brain hemorrhage is a life-threatening condition caused by bleeding within the brain, often due to a ruptured blood vessel. It can occur as a result of trauma, high blood pressure, aneurysms, or other medical conditions. The bleeding leads to increased pressure on the brain, which can cause symptoms such as severe headaches, nausea, confusion, seizures, and loss of consciousness. Immediate medical attention is crucial to prevent brain damage and other complications. Treatment may involve surgery to stop the bleeding and relieve pressure, along with intensive care and rehabilitation to aid in recovery. Early diagnosis and intervention are key to improving outcomes.
-
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Seizures can vary in type and intensity, ranging from brief lapses in attention or muscle jerks to severe convulsions. Epilepsy can result from various factors, including genetics, brain injury, infections, or developmental disorders. Diagnosis is made through clinical evaluation, imaging, and electroencephalography (EEG). Treatment typically involves medications to control seizures, and in some cases, surgery or other therapies may be necessary. With proper management, many individuals with epilepsy can lead full and active lives.
-
Brain tuberculosis, also known as tuberculous meningitis, is a serious form of tuberculosis infection that affects the brain and its surrounding tissues. It occurs when the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis spreads from the lungs to the brain, leading to inflammation of the brain's protective membranes (meninges). Symptoms can include severe headaches, fever, neck stiffness, confusion, seizures, and neurological deficits. Early diagnosis and treatment with anti-tubercular medications are essential to prevent complications such as brain damage, stroke, or death. In severe cases, additional treatments like steroids or surgery may be required. Timely intervention can significantly improve outcomes in patients with brain TB.
-
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) is an advanced surgical technique designed to treat various spinal conditions with smaller incisions and less disruption to the surrounding muscles and tissues. MISS is used to address issues such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease. Procedures like microdiscectomy, laminectomy, and spinal fusion can be performed using specialized instruments and imaging guidance.
-
Navigation assisted surgeries utilize advanced imaging technology and computer software to enhance the precision and safety of surgical procedures. In the context of spine surgery, this technique allows surgeons to accurately map the spine's anatomy in real-time, ensuring optimal placement of screws, rods, or implants during spinal fusion, decompression, or other interventions.
This method reduces the risk of complications, minimizes damage to surrounding tissues, and improves overall surgical outcomes. By providing a detailed, 3D view of the surgical site, navigation-assisted surgeries enable more efficient procedures with potentially faster recovery times for patients
