At Caritas Neuro Sciences, we're passionate about guiding you toward
a lifetime of neuro health through expert care and innovation.

 

Epilepsy, strokes and other muscle-related ailments are some of the most significant contributors to India's cumulative neurological disability-adjusted life years (DALYs)—such a high metric warrants immediate and accurate treatment at par with international standards. A few decades back, even basic neurological examinations were hard to find in Kerala. This prompted the philanthropists in Kerala to initiate the neurology department at Caritas hospital.

Within a very short period, the quality of treatment provided by the team of neuro physicians, neurosurgeons, nurses and support staff supported by the best-in-class medical equipment earned Caritas the fame of the best neurological hospital in Kerala.

Caritas Hospital's Department of Neuro Sciences offers advanced neurology, neurosurgery, spine surgery, neuro-oncology and neuro-rehabilitation services.

This neurology hospital is a one-stop center for all neurological issues. It has inpatient and outpatient wings, a daycare unit, dedicated neuro ICUs, neurosurgery suites, interventional neuroradiology and the most advanced imaging facilities, including nuclear medicine.

The 24-hour emergency division caters to all types of neurological and neurosurgery emergencies, including complex neurotrauma and hyperacute management of stroke. It is another factor why this department makes Caritas the best neurology hospital in Kerala.

Treatment and Procedures

Caritas hospital provides a broad range of neurology treatments and procedures under the supervision of experienced neuro physicians. We use various diagnostic tests to help pinpoint the cause of symptoms and guide the selection of an appropriate treatment plan.

The Department of Neurosurgery in Caritas Hospital offers a wide range of surgical procedures to treat various neurological disorders and accidents, including congenital disorders of the brain and spine, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injuries and degenerative disc disorders.

This department has highly experienced neurosurgical experts and spine surgeons to perform a range of simple to complex procedures, which are:

  • Micro-neuro surgery for tumours & vascular disorders
  • Awake craniotomy
  • Minimal invasive surgery for spinal disorders – IVDP, microdiscectomy
  • Emergency decompressive craniectomy and other emergency brain surgeries
  • VP shunt procedures for hydrocephalus

The neurology department comprises a team of highly skilled physicians who have successfully diagnosed and treated neurological diseases, neuro infection and immunology, neuromuscular disorders and dementia.

Our team is always up on their heels to provide immediate care for neurological incidents like acute ischemic stroke. We have the necessary facilities and experts to conduct mechanical thrombectomy therapy for acute strokes. The department uses a thrombolytic agent known as clot-busting drug to treat appropriate stroke patients.

  • Electroencephalogram (EEG)
