The word "neuro" refers to the nerve or nervous system, which is crucial for maintaining the functionality and health of the human body. Every organ relies on the nervous system to function properly, regulating essential processes such as heartbeat and breathing. However, any significant brain or spinal cord injury can disrupt nerve function, leading to various neurological problems.
Types of Neurological Disorders
Neurological problems encompass a wide range of disorders, including neuromuscular disorders, brain tumors, stroke, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, migraines, and multiple sclerosis. If any symptoms of these conditions manifest, it is imperative to consult a neurologist immediately.
The Rise of Neurological Issues and Advances in Medical Treatment
With changing lifestyles, the prevalence of diseases like stroke and heart attack has surged. Fortunately, medical services have also advanced significantly. One notable advancement is brain catheterization, a minimally invasive technique used for the immediate treatment of stroke or brain vein occlusion.
Insights from Dr. Manoj kumar Mahato on Brain Catheterization
In a recent interview with Anandabazar Online, Dr. Manojkumar Mahato, Senior Consultant in the Interventional Neurology Department at Apollo Multispeciality Hospital in Kolkata, explained the procedure. He stated, “When blood circulation is stopped due to stroke or any other reason, this condition is treated with a 'minimally invasive' method. Using this method, it is possible to immediately open the blocked vein in the brain of a stroke patient and save the patient.”
Dr. Mahato further elaborated, “In treating stroke patients, the basic condition is first monitored through 'CT angiography' and 'CT Scan'. Following this, the 'Thrombectomy' method is employed. Patients receive treatment based on various tests conducted in our own cath lab.”
Benefits of the Minimally Invasive Method
This minimally invasive treatment not only takes less time but also facilitates quicker patient recovery compared to open surgery. The procedure boasts a higher recovery rate, underscoring its effectiveness.
