About the department
The Department of Neurology and Epileptology at the Memorial Bahсelievler Hospital Istanbul offers the full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services in the field of its competence. The medical facility specializes in the diagnostics and treatment of diseases of the brain and peripheral nerves, headaches, epilepsy, sleep disorders, muscle diseases, multiple sclerosis. The department has the most advanced medical equipment for various examinations and therapeutic manipulations. The team of specialists consists of highly qualified neurologists who regularly undergo advanced training courses in order to keep up with the times and master the most advanced techniques in this medical field. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Mehmet Ali Akalın.
Prior to treatment, the doctors accurately study the patient's medical history, carry out diagnostic examinations, including CT and MRI scans, angiography and others. In especially complex clinical cases, the specialists from related fields are involved in the therapeutic process, as it is extremely important to determine the etiological cause of the development of pathology in order to select the optimal therapy in the future.
Of particular interest to the department's specialists are cerebrovascular diseases. These include vascular lesions of the brain, head and neck. These pathologies lead to hypoxia and damage to the brain substance. Stroke poses the greatest danger among these diseases. It is the second most frequent cause of death in the world. Among the risk factors of stroke are high cholesterol levels, diabetes mellitus, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, overweight, etc. The department's doctors carry out preventive measures aimed at reducing the risk of stroke.
The department admits many patients with epilepsy. This disorder of the central nervous system disrupts the activity of the brain, causing seizures and loss of consciousness. As a rule, the department's specialists prescribe conservative therapy for elimination of epileptic seizures, but in especially complex cases, surgical intervention can be performed. The timely initiation of antiepileptic therapy is extremely important, since the treatment success and the activity of further progression of the pathology depend on it.
The department often deals with the treatment of elderly patients with memory impairments. The most common pathologies are Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder and is considered the most common cause of motor impairment in humans. The main symptom is hand tremor. If not treated, the disease progresses – it becomes difficult for a person to walk, talk and lead his usual way of life. Like Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease is caused by degenerative changes in the nerve cells. It is characterized by a slower progression and is manifested by memory loss, speech problems and difficulties with self-care – patients can not dress, wash, eat. Thanks to advanced medicines and techniques, the department's specialists strive to slow down or stop the development of these diseases as much as possible, thereby maximizing the quality of life of the patients.
The department's clinical focuses include:
- Diagnostics and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases
- Intracerebral hemorrhage
- Cerebrovascular malformations
