Compulsory Rotating Medical Internship Programme 2025-26                 VIMS & RC - Grievance Redressal System
  • Vydehi Institute is one of the leading speciality hospitals in Bangalore for treating neurological disorders. Neurology is a medical speciality dealing with the study and treatment of disorders of the nervous system. Backed by state-of-the-art technology and eminent neurologists, Vydehi hospital is making a mark in the niche by treating the diseases with treatment options matching the international standards.
  • The department of Neurology at Vydehi hospital provides a complete range of diagnostic, therapeutics, surgical and rehabilitation services for treatment and management of neurological disorders. To name a few, we are equipped to diagnose and treat all neurological diseases, including strokes, dementias (including Alzheimer’s disease), multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, brain injury and others.
  • Neurologists often work with other health care providers.
  • We involve the patients while designing the treatment plan to suit their conditions and explain the course of treatment to boost their morale and confidence. If the need arises for surgical intervention, the neurologist will refer the patient to a neurosurgeon to improve the eventual outcomes.
  • Our dedicated team of neurologists and neurosurgeons are committed to providing a minimally invasive treatment plan for better and complete healing of the patients.

To ease the workflow and provide the perfect treatment for patients, the neurology department has various sub-clinics

  • Headache clinic
  • Epilepsy clinic
  • Neuro-muscular clinic
  • Neuro behavioural clinic
  • Stroke programs
  • Memory Disorders Clinic
  • Movement disorder clinic

Though we treat all neurological disorders, we specialise in treating the following disorders

  • Epilepsy
  • Parkinson disease and movement disorders
  • Stroke-management and treatment
  • Myasthenia Gravis
  • Peripheral Neuropathy and neuromuscular disorders
  • Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
  • Thrombolysis with tissue plasminogen activator (TPA)
  • Management of chronic pain, neuro-infections and sleep disorders.

Different diagnostic tools for the diagnosis and management of patients with disorders of the nervous system are as follows.

  • EEG (electroencephalography)
  • Video EEG monitoring
  • EMG (electromyography)
  • Nerve conduction studies
  • Visual evoked potentials
  • Brainstem evoked response audiometry
  • Somatosensory evoked potentials
  • Repetitive nerve stimulation studies
  • MRI neuroaxis & MR angiogram
  • Spiral CT / 3D CT, CT angiogram
  • PET (Positron emission tomography)
  • Nerve, muscle, skin biopsy
  • Botulinum toxin injection
  • Lumbar puncture-diagnostic and therapeutic
