All Specialties of Neuroscience in One Clinic Under One Roof
Neurosurgery
Neurosurgery is the medical specialty involved with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of patients with injury to or diseases and or disorders that impact portions of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal column, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves throughout the body. Treatment incorporates both non-operative administrations such as neurorehabilitation and operative administration. Core clinics provides treatment to patients with brain, spinal, pituitary, and peripheral nerves diseases and provides functional neurosurgery, interventional neuroradiology, paediatrics neurosurgery, and minimally invasive surgeries.
Brain
Brain surgery is a crucial and complicated process. However, a brain operation can be essential in reducing harmful pressure in the brain, alleviating pain throughout the body, and strengthening functional deficiencies.
The doctors of Core Clinics are highly experienced and of the best neurosurgery doctors in Egypt and can operate on various brain conditions, including:
– Skull base tumours
– Aneurysm clipping
– Cerebral hemorrhage
– Traumatic brain injury
Using the best techniques like:
– Awake surgery
– Endoscopic surgery
– 3D-navigated brain surgery
Pituitary Tumors
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.
Spine
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
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
Paediatric Neurosurgery
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 Nerves Surgery
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 Surgeries
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

Neurophysiology
EEG and Sleep Lab
Electroencephalography (EEG) records the electrical activity of the brain. Different recording procedures are utilised depending on the age starting from neonates to geriatric recordings and clinical conditions.
Routine EEG
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.
Long term and All night EEG with Polysomnography
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.
EEG monitoring
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.
Intraoperative monitoring and subdural EEG
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.
Neonatal and Pediatric EEG
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.
Portable Adult, Paediatric and Neonatal EEG in hospitals and ICU
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.
EMG, NCS and Evoked Potentials Lab
EMG/NCS
Electromyograph and nerve conduction studies (EMG/NCS) are performed to check the overall integrity of nerves and muscles. This test remains the best initial test for the diagnosis and prognosis of peripheral nerve and muscle disorders. It can also be used to examine the integrity of certain cranial nerves such as the facial, trigeminal, and phrenic nerves.
Common conditions diagnosed using this test include:
– Respiratory muscle problems.
– Pelvic floor and anal sphincter dysfunctions.
– Critical illness neuropathies and myopathies.
– Anterior horn cell disorders including motor neuron disease.
– Autonomic (sympathetic and parasympathetic) dysfunctions.
– Nerve root compression due to herniated lumbar or cervical disc.
– Cranial neuropathies; mainly facial (Bell’s palsy) and trigeminal neuropathies.
– Nerve entrapments (carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar nerve lesion at the elbow).
– Muscle disorders such as muscular dystrophy, polymyositis, myositis, myotonia, etc.
– Causes of motor developmental delay and pediatric inherited neuromuscular disorders.
– Peripheral neuropathy (acquired, traumatic, inflammatory, autoimmune, and hereditary).
– Neuromuscular junction disorders such as myasthenia gravis and lambert-Eaton syndrome.
A portable device is available to be taken to test patients in hospitals and the ICU.
Somatosensory evoked potentials
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).
