Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterised by recurrent unprovoked seizures. Evaluation includes medical history, neurological examination and selected tests such as EEG and brain imaging. Treatment often involves anti-seizure medicines and regular follow-up.
Stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted or bleeding develops within the brain. Sudden weakness, speech difficulty or facial drooping requires immediate emergency assessment. Treatment depends on stroke type and timing.
Migraine is a neurological condition that can cause recurring headaches, nausea and sensitivity to light or sound. Treatment may include medicines for acute attacks, preventive therapy and management of contributing triggers.
Persistent headaches may arise from migraine, tension-type headaches or other conditions. Evaluation considers frequency, severity, associated symptoms and warning signs. Treatment is selected after identifying the likely headache disorder.
Dementia refers to conditions affecting memory, thinking and daily functioning. Evaluation may include cognitive testing, medical history, laboratory investigations and selected brain imaging. Treatment depends on the underlying diagnosis and patient needs.
Vertigo produces a sensation of spinning or movement and can result from inner-ear or neurological conditions. Assessment involves reviewing symptoms and examining balance and neurological function. Treatment depends on the identified cause.
Movement disorders can cause tremor, stiffness, involuntary movements or impaired coordination. Neurological examination helps distinguish the underlying condition. Treatment may involve medication, rehabilitation and selected specialist interventions.
Paralysis involves loss or significant reduction of voluntary muscle movement. Possible causes include stroke, spinal cord injury and nerve disorders. Sudden paralysis requires emergency assessment, while long-term management depends on the underlying diagnosis.
Peripheral nerve disorders may cause numbness, tingling, weakness or pain. Evaluation includes neurological examination and, when indicated, nerve conduction studies or other investigations. Treatment depends on the type and cause of nerve dysfunction.
Long-term neurological conditions may require continuing review of symptoms, medication and functional ability. Follow-up care helps assess disease progression, treatment response and whether further rehabilitation or specialist investigations are needed.
