Is a branch of medicine dealing with disorders of the nervous system. The Department of Neurology in the American Hospital deals with the diagnosis and treatment of all categories of conditions and disease involving the central and peripheral nervous systems (and their subdivisions, the autonomic and somatic nervous systems), including their coverings, blood vessels, and all effector tissue, such as muscle.

Our diagnostics and treatment of the entire range of neurological diseases are based on the most sophisticated imaging examinations, specialized radiology staff deals with their interpretation (MRI, MRA CT, Angio-CT, ECHO Doppler, X-rays) and a specialized laboratory diagnose neurological problems.

The Neuroelectrophysiology Laboratory performs EEG, Video EEG, and Polymerography.

Electroencephalogram (EEG)

With electrodes applied to your scalp, an EEG measures electrical activity in the brain.

To make a diagnosis, our neurologists uses imaging tests such as:

• computed tomography, or CT scan
• magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI scan
• positron emission tomography, or PET scan

Other diagnostic procedures include angiography (Angio-CT) which determines blockages in the blood vessels going to the brain.

Treated diseases

• Cerebral vascular diseases (cerebral vascular accidents) – Ischemia and cerebral haemorrhage; Diagnosis of malformations of cerebral veins (Aneurysms, AV, cavernoma, etc.)
• Diagnosis and treatment of carotid pathology (medical and surgical)
• Neurodegenerative diseases
• Parkinson Disease; Dementia Syndromes; spinocerebellar ataxia; Lateral amyotrophic sclerosis; Huntington Disease etc.
• Epilepsy (epileptic syndrome)
• Headaches
• Spinal pathologies and peripheral neuropathy (medullar spinal damages, discal hernia, neuropathies of different etiology)
• Muscular pathologies
