The complicated science of Neurology deals with all the diseases, abnormalities and dysfunctions of the Brain, Spine and Nerves. These structures ultimately control most functions in our bodies, and make us who we are by control of thought, speech, memory, intelligence etc. Even minor disturbances in the function of any of these may cause tremendous discomfort and disabilities. In the past 25 years research has unfolded the intricate secrets of many neurological disorders, and we now are equipped with excellent resources, investigations, and management facilities for many Neurological problems. Total control and cure for some epilepsies, recovery from stroke, neurointervention to prevent strokes, better outcomes in infections like meningitis / encephalitis, deficiencies and malignancies, pain relief in many conditions, excellent treatments for migraine, and improved quality of life in many incurable conditions are just a few examples of recent achievements.

Of utmost importance is the timely, earliest diagnosis and identification of the condition so as to prevent a poor outcome, to prolong life by every possible minute, and to make it as comfortable as possible for the patient. This depends upon a thorough discussion of patient's complaints, a detailed and complete clinical examination, and relevant investigations all by a trained Neurologist. Unfortunately, most precious moments are lost in the process of the patient reaching the right specialist.
