Neurologist

Neurology is the medical specialty focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders of the central and peripheral nervous system — including the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. These conditions can affect memory, movement, sensation, balance, and speech, significantly impacting quality of life.

Importance of a Neurological Consultation

Neurological disorders may occur suddenly or develop gradually over time. Prompt and accurate evaluation is essential for establishing a diagnosis and initiating appropriate treatment. A neurological consultation helps to:

• detect and monitor cerebrovascular diseases (stroke, ischemia),
• evaluate memory disorders, headaches, dizziness, or seizures,
• diagnose neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease),
• establish treatment for peripheral nerve or muscle disorders.

What a Neurological Consultation at CardioPrima Includes

• Patient interview (medical history): symptoms, medical background, current treatments, and risk factors.
• Neurological clinical examination: assessment of reflexes, muscle strength, sensation, balance, coordination, and memory.
• Review of existing investigations: brain MRI, CT scan, electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), if available.
• Determination of the need for additional investigations: imaging or functional tests.
• Treatment plan: personalized recommendations regarding medication, lifestyle, and follow-up monitoring.

Who Should See a Neurologist

• Individuals with frequent or severe headaches, dizziness, or visual disturbances.
• Patients with memory problems, confusion, or behavioral changes.
• People who have suffered a stroke or are at high risk.
• Patients with seizures, epilepsy, or loss of consciousness.
• Individuals with movement disorders, tremor, muscle weakness, or numbness.
