We conduct general neurology clinics on all days except Sundays where common neurological problems such as headache, stroke syndromes, epilepsy, movement disorders, peripheral neuromuscular disorders and dementia are addressed. These clinics are one of the busiest super speciality OPDs of our hospital where 100 to 120 patients seek care. Acute neurological illnesses such as acute ischemic stroke, status epilepticus, meningoencephalitis, ataxic and vertiginous syndromes, thunder clap headaches, acute areflexic paralysis, movement disorder emergencies and neuromuscular emergencies such as myasthenic crisis are admitted through the Emergency Department. Pediatric Neurology clinics are conducted on all Tuesdays. We receive commendable co-operation from our Neurosurgery colleagues. Teaching programs are designed for Postgraduate students of Medicine and Pediatrics who are recruited from time to time. We are in the process of starting DM Neurology/DNB Neurology courses.
