Neurology covers disorders of the physiology of the nervous system and is divided into adult and pediatric neurology. Neurology deals with the treatment of diseases that occur in the brain, spinal cord (spinal cord) and any of the peripheral nervous systems. Physicians who specialize in the treatment of nervous system diseases are called neurologists. The field of dysfunctional diseases, including muscle diseases caused by disorders of the nervous system, is also the field of neurology.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG) are the methods used in the neurology unit of our hospital.
Which Diseases Does the Neurology Unit Treat?
Alzheimer’s: Memory loss, dementia and loss of cognitive functions caused by the death of brain cells over time are called Alzheimer’s disease.
Dementia: It is the most common cause of Alzheimer’s disease. There are disruptions in daily activities, psychiatric symptoms and behavioral disorders.
Brain hemorrhage: Bleeding in the brain tissue, brain cavities and brain surface.
Paralysis: Occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is reduced and brain tissue is deprived of oxygen.
Headache: It is the feeling of pain, throbbing in a certain part of the head. Headache reduces the quality of life of the person and may cause disruption of daily work.
Dizziness: It causes balance problems. It may be caused by external factors or medication. The underlying cause is investigated and a treatment method is determined.
Epilepsy: Epilepsy, also known as epilepsy, is characterized by cells in one area of the brain sending abnormal electrical signals. It is a chronic disease and occurs in people who have suffered a brain injury during or after birth.
Parkinson’s disease: It is the deterioration of the cells that produce a substance that allows brain cells to communicate with each other. These cells are called dopamine. It is mostly seen at the age of 60 and later. Drug treatment is applied, but if this treatment is insufficient, the brain pacemaker method is used.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS): Multiple sclerosis is a central nervous system disease. It is mostly seen in people between the ages of 20-40. It is not a life-threatening disease. Although there is no definitive cure, life comfort can be increased with early diagnosis and doctor control.
Sleep disorders: Sleep disorders, the causes of which vary depending on the individual, reduce the quality of life and can lead to poor health. Other problems such as sleep walking, bedwetting and nightmares are among the sleep disorders.
Migraine: Migraine is a type of headache. It usually occurs as an attack and the pain is in the temple area. It is 3 times more common in women than in men. The factors that trigger migraine can be controlled by avoiding and using medication under the supervision of a doctor.
Diabetic neuropathy: Damage to the peripheral nervous system is called diabetic neuropathy. Symptoms include pain, numbness and pins and needles sensation in the hands and feet. However, some patients may have no symptoms at all.
Muscle diseases: Muscle weakness or loss of muscle mass. It usually manifests itself at an early age and, without the right treatment, the symptoms get progressively worse.

The neurology unit, which plays a role in the treatment of diseases in the nervous system, is also effective in the diagnosis of important diseases. For this reason, it is important to be observed by an experienced neurologist in order not to miss possible diseases and to diagnose them early.
