Neurology

Multiple sclerosis (MS)

A chronic autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers, disrupting brain-to-body communication.

Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), also known as Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO) or Devic's disease

A rare autoimmune disease affecting the optic nerves and spinal cord that causes inflammation leading to vision loss, paralysis, and other neurological issues.

Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody disease syndrome (Anti-MOGAD)

The immune system attacks myelin, the protective coating of nerve fibers, affecting the optic nerve, brain, brainstem, and spinal cord.

Paraneoplastic syndromes

Complications that arise from substances produced by tumors.

Ependymoma spine tumors
Tumors that originate from ependymal cells in the central canal of the spinal cord.

Glioma tumors
A diverse group of tumors that come from glial cells in the brain or spinal cord.

Meningioma tumors
These slow-growing tumors develop from the meninges surrounding the brain and spinal cord.

Nerve-sheath spine tumors
These tumors form in the protective covering of peripheral nerves in the spine, such as schwannomas and neurofibromas.

Pituitary tumor
These growths in the pituitary gland can affect hormone production and cause various symptoms.

Skull-base brain tumors
Located at the base of the skull, these tumors can affect critical nerves and brain structures.

Other brain and spine tumors
Our specialists treat cases ranging from the most common to the most unique and complex.

Alzheimer's disease
A progressive brain disorder that causes memory loss and confusion.

Dementia types
Forms of dementia, including dementia with lewy bodies, dementia, and vascular dementia, that can lead to cognitive decline and memory problems.

Dystonia
A disorder causing involuntary muscle contractions that lead to twisting or repetitive movements along with abnormal posture.

Essential tremor
A condition that causes uncontrollable shaking, often of the hands or head.

Huntington’s disease
A hereditary brain disorder that leads to uncontrolled movements, emotional disturbances, and cognitive decline.

Tourette syndrome
A neurological disorder characterized by involuntary movements and vocalizations known as tics.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
A neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells controlling voluntary muscles, causing weakness and atrophy.

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP)
Similar to Guillain-Barre syndrome but slower in onset and progression.

Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS)
An autoimmune attack against the myelin sheath, covering the larger nerve fibers.

Muscular dystrophy (MD)
A group of inherited diseases that cause muscle weakness and loss of muscle over time.

Myasthenia gravis (MG)
A disorder where the communication between nerves and muscles is impaired, causing weakness in voluntary muscles, especially those involved in breathing, swallowing, and eye movement.

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)
A genetic, progressive disease that causes a loss of motor neurons, leading to muscle weakness and atrophy.

Aneurysm
A bulge in a weakened blood vessel that can burst, causing bleeding.

Stroke
Occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked or a vessel bursts or ruptures. Learn more about strokes.

Cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine disorders
Conditions that impact various segments of the spine, including the neck (cervical), mid-back (thoracic), and lower back (lumbar).

Compression fracture
A fracture of the spine in which a vertebra collapses due to trauma.

Degenerative disc disease
A condition where spinal discs lose cushioning and flexibility.

Herniated disc
A condition in which the soft inner material of a spinal disc protrudes through its outer layer, in many cases causing nerves to compress.

Sciatica
A condition where the spine curves in an S-like shape.

Spinal cord injury
Spinal cord damage that can lead to the loss of motor and sensory functions.

Spinal column tumors
Benign or malignant growths that develop within or along the spine.

Spinal deformities
Abnormal curvature or structural issues of the spine, leading to posture and functional problems such as scoliosis.

Spine metastasis
The spread of cancer from other parts of the body to the spine.
