Department of Neurology
Specialized in: neurology About the Department of Neurology at University Hospital Duesseldorf
According to the Focus magazine, the Department of Neurology at the University Hospital Duesseldorf ranks among the top German departments specializing in the treatment of multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease!
The department offers the full range of services for the treatment and diagnostics of diseases of the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and neuromuscular diseases. The department is among the leading medical institutions of this kind in Germany. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Hans-Peter Hartung.
The department has an ultramodern Stroke Unit to provide effective care for stroke patients. It is certified by the German Stroke Society and the German Stroke Foundation as a stroke unit of supraregional significance. In close cooperation with the Departments of Radiology, Vascular and Neurosurgery, Cardiology and Hemostaseology, the department guarantees the best diagnostics and treatment of strokes and pre-stroke conditions. In addition, there is an active cooperation with the specialized institutions, which specialize in neurorehabilitation for the restoration of lost or impaired functions of the nervous system.
The diagnostic options of the department include:
- Vascular diagnostics
- Extracranial doppler and duplex ultrasound
- Transcranial doppler and duplex ultrasound
- Electrophysiological examinations
- Electroencephalography
- Electromyography/neurography
- Registration of evoked potentials
- Diagnostics of the autonomic nervous system (for example, heart rate variability analysis)
- Diagnostics of the visual analyzer pathway
- Visual evoked potentials
- Multifocal visual evoked potentials
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT)
- Electronystagmography
- Neuropsychological diagnostics (for example, dementia screening, examinations of memory, attention, mental abilities, etc.)
- Cerebrospinal fluid analysis
- Determination of neutralizing antibodies against interferon-beta
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Computed tomography (CT)
- Positron emission tomography (PET) and PET-CT
- Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)
- Other diagnostic methods
The main clinical focuses of the department include:
- Diagnostics and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases (for example, stroke, blood circulatory disorders (transient ischemic attacks, haemorrhage))
- Diagnostics and treatment of immune-mediated diseases of the brain and spinal cord (for example, multiple sclerosis, optic nerve myelitis)
- Diagnostics and treatment of immune-mediated diseases of the peripheral nervous system (for example, Guillain-Barré syndrome) and polyneuropathy
- Diagnostics and treatment of neuromuscular diseases (for example, myasthenia, polymyositis, dermatomyositis)
- Diagnostics and treatment of Parkinson's disease and other motor disorders
- Diagnostics and treatment of neurological diseases in HIV infection
- Diagnostics and treatment of dementia
- Diagnostics and treatment of pain syndromes
- Diagnostics and treatment of other neurological diseases
