All Specialties of Neuroscience in One Clinic Under One Roof

Pituitary tumours are irregular masses that develop, resulting in disturbances in body hormones level. The majority of pituitary tumours are benign and do not spread to other parts of the body.

Most pituitary tumours are removed by transsphenoidal surgery through the nose and going through the sphenoid sinus located behind the nose. These operations are minimally invasive, and the patient is fully recovered in 2 weeks.

Spinal cord injuries can cause lasting changes in strength, feeling, and other body functions near the area of damage. Many cervical spine surgeries can be done by using minimally invasive techniques with an endoscope or laser. These techniques are also used to reduce or relieve lumbar back pain allowing the patient to recover quicker with less scarring.

Core Clinics provides treatment to patients with spinal injuries including:

– Spinal tumors

– Vertebro/Kyphoplasty

– Scoliosis and deformities

– Degenerative spine problems

– Spine instability (fusion surgery)

– Percutaneous spine fusion and fixation

– Disc herniation (microscopic/endoscopic)

Functional neurosurgery is a surgical procedure utilised to relieve chronic neurological disorders that interrupt a person’s day-to-day function or abilities such as Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, and tremors.

Core Clinics employs a multidisciplinary team and top neurosurgery consultants in Egypt that are well-coordinated to relieve the pain of the patients using different techniques like:

– Epilepsy surgery

– Deep brain stimulation

– Spinal cord stimulation

– Ablation procedures for movement disorders

– Implantable pumps for Intra thecal drug delivery

Similar to adults neurosurgery, our pediatric neurosurgeons perform expert surgical treatment for children to relieve various conditions like:

– Epilepsy

– Spasticity

– Spina bifida

– Cerebral palsy

– Hydrocephalus

– Pituitary tumours

– Chiari malformation

– Brain and spinal cord tumours

– Craniofacial anomalies and craniosynostosis

– Cerebrovascular disorders (including arteriovenous malformation and stroke)

Peripheral nerve surgery is the surgical treatment of nerves in the peripheral nervous system outside of the brain and spinal cord. Such surgeries are utilised when non-surgical treatment techniques are no longer effective in alleviating the patient’s pain.

Core Clinics doctors are well-trained in treating:

– Ulnar nerve decompression

– Carpal tunnel decompression

– Peripheral nerve tumor removal

Minimally invasive surgery is linked to less pain, shorter recovery times for the patient, and fewer overall complications.

Our highly-proficient doctors are able to perform minimally invasive surgeries including:

– Percutaneous spinal procedures

– Keyhole approaches to operate the skull base

– State-of-the-art full HD endoscopic skull base surgery

– Full HD endoscopic ventricular surgery/endoscopic-assisted microsurgery

A short 30-minute record is used for the initial appraisal of the electrical activity of the brain in any patient to confirm or exclude epilepsy. When video recording is added, the syndromic classification of epilepsy is facilitated, which has major implications on case management options and the choice of medication used.

It also can predict the following cases:

– Dementias.

– Encephalopathies.

– Other neurological dysfunction including the effect of drugs on the brain.

Video-EEG recording starting from 2 hours and up to 48 hours to:

– Diagnose or quantify the nature of episodic events, whether epileptic or non-epileptic.
– Sleep disturbances.

A prolonged period of video-EEG monitoring lasting up to several days or even weeks is performed in the hope of capturing:

– Episodes of disturbed consciousness.
– Abnormal/involuntary movements.
– Seizures.

This service is used to delineate the exact site of the focus intraoperatively and to determine the extent of excision. It is of particular importance when the lesion is in the vicinity of eloquent cortical structures such as motor or language areas.

The EEG provides useful information that reflects the function of the neonatal brain. This will:

– Assist in determining brain maturation.
– Help identify focal or generalized abnormalities.
– Determine the existence of potentially epileptogenic foci, or ongoing seizures.
– It is useful in assessing prognosis for neonates/infants at risk for neurological sequelae.

A portable device is available and can be taken to any hospital or ICU all over Egypt. It is very important to diagnose and differentiate between the different conditions that lead to prolonged confusion, delirium or coma.

This test is used to assess the integrity of the somatosensory pathways. It is a helpful guide in peripheral sensory nerve lesions but has a much more important diagnostic and prognostic value in multiple sclerosis and spinal cord dysfunction (myelitis).
