NeurologyNeurology focuses on the organic diseases of the nervous system. The most common symptoms are numbness, paralysis, vision disorder, pain (mostly headache), dizziness, speech disorder, movement disorder and balance problems, craps, faints, problems with remembering.
Kinds of diseases neurology focuses on:
- problems of the cerebral circulation: stroke, temporary disorders of circulation, lesions of carotid arteries (vasoconstriction, obstruction)
- pain syndromes (headache, neuralgia)
- loss of consciousness, epilepsy
- movement disorders (tremor, Parkinson’s disease)
- diseases of the peripheral nervous system (neuritis, facial nerve paralysis, lumbago, sciatica)
- neurological complications of metabolic diseases (results of diabetes, problems of the liver or kidneys, hormonal disorders)
- immunological origin diseases (sclerosis multiplex)
- injuries of the nervous system (cranial and spinal trauma)
- space-occupying processes of the cranial and vertebral capacity
The neurological diseases are often associated with other problems so cooperation with other areas (internal medicine, ophthalmology and rheumatology) is very important. After diagnosing the problem sometimes there is a possibility to cure the disease but in other cases we can only relieve the symptoms.
