### What is neurology?.. When many patients face various problems such as tingling in the hands and feet, double vision, blurred vision, falls or muscle stiffness, because they do not know the origin of the disease, they do not know who they should refer to for their problems. A neurologist is a doctor who has obtained this degree by completing a specialized course in the field of neurology. It is actually the brain and the spinal cord. Diseases, disorders, and injuries caused by the nervous system need to be managed, and the person who can manage this system is a neurologist... Before reaching this stage, a neurologist must have completed a medical course... Second, he has completed a specialized course. - and also completed an internship #### What does a neurologist do?... By examining the central and peripheral nervous system (brain and spinal cord), neurologists examine the issues and problems that arise in this system, for example, patients who suffer from MS are affected by the destruction of the nerve sheath or the so-called myelin, and the doctor looks for evidence to reject or accept it... A neurologist (neurologist) according to the initial examination and clinical examinations that The office examines the possibility of a problem in this area, and after reaching the initial probability, using diagnostic methods such as optical scanning in this particular case, nerve and muscle scan, brain scan, color Doppler CT, brain ultrasound, ultrasound, MRI, color Doppler brain, ultrasound, ultrasound, etc. In the same way... a suspected disease or its rejection despite these measures... those who go to a neurologist And the nerves (neurologist) are referred, and with a closer look at the internist, they encounter symptoms like the ones mentioned here.... - Confusion - Change in mood Vision problems such as blurred vision and double vision - Headache - Tingling of hands and feet - Decreased consciousness - Sudden fainting and weakness - Trembling in the limbs - Staring without reaction - Smell problems as well as problems in the tactile system Of course, these are not the only cases that can be related to brain and nerve diseases, but among the categories of patients, these factors are considered more, and neurologists are faced with them in many cases... > Many brain and nerve diseases are silent and it is necessary to see a doctor by observing the initial symptoms, time is the first word in treatment... ### Neurologist works to treat these diseases - Seizure disorders such as epilepsy - Stroke, cerebral hemorrhage, aneurysm and hemorrhagic strokes - MS or multiple sucrose - Neuromuscular disorders such as myasthenia gravis - Nervous system infection including encephalitis, meningitis and brain abscess - Brain diseases and disorders such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Lou Gehrig's disease - Spinal cord disorder similar to inflammatory and autoimmune disorders - Headaches such as cluster headaches and migraines Many neurologists prefer to seek to increase their knowledge and ability in a subspecialty course after completing a specialized course so that they can help patients both as a neurologist and as a subspecialist in their subfield. Some specialized fields in this field are: - Headache treatment - Neuromuscular care - Cerebral vascular specialist - Pediatric neurology - epilepsy ### Diagnostic care necessary for a neurologist Clinical examinations: First, a neurologist is necessary to check the nerve reflexes and also to check the person's behavior.. The patient should pay attention to the physical manifestations and after observing some initial symptoms, diagnostic items should be requested, including.. Do what is mentioned here... ##### Vision strip Visual tape or VEP is a tape that is done through a nerve and muscle tape device and through which the reflex of the eye nerves is checked. This tape is done with the help of several pins that are connected to the brain and the device.. It does not cause any pain to the patient and does not cause any problems to the pregnant patient.. This device does not have nerve radiation and only produces it in the eye.. ##### Nerve and muscle band In some diseases, such as the lumbar disc, it is necessary for the doctor to examine the nerves more carefully, and he does this with the help of this tape, which is done with the EMG/NCV device. In response to some patients who are afraid of EEG when visiting a neurologist and think that this device will give them an electric shock, it should be said that electricity has nothing to do with it and it does not give electricity in any way. shock.. by the way, this strip does not cause any pain and it is done very simply by the silver-plated caps and sockets to check the patient's brain waves.. slowly, so there is no need to worry about this and it does not cause any problems for pregnant women either... ##### MRI As you know, MRI takes a more accurate picture of patients with the presence of radiation and penetrating the lower layers of the body and presents it to the doctor. In addition, in relation to patients' questions for MRI with injection, this MRI is performed by injecting medicine into the veins and inside the veins. In fact, intravenous injection is done and no substance is injected into the back, brain or other places... CT scan, blood test, color doppler ultrasound, TCCD are also among the things that the neurologist may request to diagnose the disease. 2: 2nd floor, Sadeghieh) with the most up-to-date treatment methods in the world and less invasive treatments guided by angiography, is ready to receive respected patients in a warm and intimate environment.
