What conditions does neurology treat?

Today, let's talk about what conditions are treated in the Department of Neurology!

The Department of Neurology diagnoses and treats a wide range of conditions, including the following:

1. Common cerebrovascular diseases: These are frequently encountered in neurology and include ischemic cerebrovascular diseases and hemorrhagic cerebrovascular diseases. Ischemic cerebrovascular diseases encompass conditions such as cerebral ischemia, cerebral infarction, and cerebral embolism, while hemorrhagic cerebrovascular diseases include cerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage.

2. Central nervous system infectious diseases: These include encephalitis and meningitis. Based on the cause of infection, they can be further classified into purulent meningitis, tuberculous meningitis, viral meningitis, and others.

3. Genetic and degenerative diseases of the nervous system: These include dementia, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, chorea, and others.

4. Autoimmune diseases: These include multiple sclerosis and demyelinating diseases.

5. Functional disorders: These include headaches and facial pain.

6. Somatization disorders, anxiety, depression, and others.

7. Spinal cord diseases: These include myelitis, spinal vascular diseases, syringomyelia, and others.

8. Sleep disorders: These include insomnia, narcolepsy, sleep apnea, sleep behavior disorders, restless legs syndrome, and others.

9. Peripheral neuropathies: Examples include ulnar neuritis and Guillain-Barré syndrome.

The range of conditions treated in neurology is extensive. In addition to the common diseases mentioned above, neurological complications arising from internal medical conditions are also managed in neurology. For example, peripheral neuropathy caused by endocrine disorders such as diabetes is treated here, as well as paraneoplastic syndromes associated with tumors.
