Hydrocephalus
Hydrocephalus is a condition of the brain characterized by abnormal concentration of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). CSF is produced in special sacs in the brain called ventricles. The fluid circulates around the brain and the spinal cord, offering protection and support for the central nervous system. It is constantly produced and is reabsorbed at […]
Arteriovenous malformations
Arteriovenous malformations of the brain and spinal cord are classied as a category of diseases that involve the morphology of blood vessels. These are congenital anomalies and may involve arteries, veins, or even small (capillary) vessels. They can be imagined as a tangle of vessels, irregularly intertwined. The vessel wall is often fragile, or there […]
Stroke
Ischemic stroke When a blood vessel in the brain is blocked by a blood clot or any other cause, normal blood supply to the brain is affected. Nervous tissue tolerates cessation of circulation for only a few seconds. The damage then becomes irreversible, and this part of the brain would have now suffered an ischemic […]
Drug-resistant Epilepsy / Parkinson’s disease / Motor disorders
Many patients with epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, tremor, dystonia, and other movement disorders may not respond to medication, even with the most modern drug combinations. Their quality of life can be significantly affected. Many of these patients are young, otherwise healthy individuals, and they need to work and, above all, live a normal life. There […]
Modern Treatment of Spasticity
Under normal conditions, our muscles are in a state of a partial continuous contraction. This normal phenomenon is called muscle tone and is necessary for our body to maintain its natural posture, as well as to keep our muscles in a state of readiness when we want to perform a movement. The control […]
Postherpetic Neuralgia
Following a nerve infection with the herpes virus (we are not talking about cold sores), severe pain in the trunk or limbs that does not respond to medication may linger. In such a case, a test electrode can be implanted under the skin or in the back and low-intensity electrical stimulation can be […]
