What is Vascular Neurology ?

It is the part of medicine that deals with vascular abnormalities that have an effect on the brain like stroke, hemorrhage, internal bleeds, clots, aneurysms and more. Vascular neurologists are specialized in the diagnosis and treatment of stroke. Blood vessel malformations, brain or spinal cord injury, brain aneurysm, cerebral vasculitis, narrowing of arteries, carotid artery malformations, neck tumors, epistaxis, spinal vascular abnormalities, hematomas, transient ischemic attack, and more come under neuro-vascular disorders. Screening tests like blood count, urea report, kidney function tests, EEGs, CT scans, ultrasounds of carotid artery, and/or transcranial Doppler ultrasound will be performed to assess the condition.

Brain Injury Medicine

Whenever a brain injury or a head trauma occurs, the brain tissue will be affected and results in gradual loss of nerve tissue or sensations. This may also result in decreases stimulus perception as the nerves may not be able to properly catch up the stimuli and give back responses. So before a surgery is performed to cure the brain injury, or even after the surgery, specific medications called the brain injury medicines are used. The medication depends on the severity and the type of the traumatic brain injury.

Neurocritical Care

Also known as neurointensive care is the field that deals with life-threatening diseases of the brain and nervous system. Specialized Intensive care Units called the Neurocritical Intensive Care Units exist where neuro intensivists equipped with the knowledge of neurology, surgery, anesthesia, pediatric care, emergency medicine, and neurosurgery work in tandem to save a patient’s life and prevent secondary brain infections. They analyze imaging techniques and perform intracranial diagnoses.

Neuro Developmental Disabilities

They are a group of disabilities associated with the functioning of brain. Usually while developmental, abnormal brain activity or anatomical presentation may lead to these disabilities. They can be either mild and dormant, showing up only once in a while as a result to triggers, or can be severe impairments effecting an individual’s daily life. The signs and symptoms usually show up at a young age making it easier for a life-long prescription against the symptoms.
