Key Department Guide

Neurology

The Department of Neurology diagnoses and treats cerebrovascular diseases, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, dementia, peripheral neuropathy, myopathy, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, headache, dizziness, and sleep disorders. Diagnosis and treatment emphasize neurological physical examination, imaging, electrophysiology, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, and immunogenetic testing. For acute stroke, status epilepticus, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and myasthenic crisis, rapid identification and initiation of standardized treatment are crucial. For chronic neurological diseases, long-term management, rehabilitation training, complication prevention, and supportive care are emphasized. If progressive paralysis, altered consciousness, meningeal irritation signs, or suspected central nervous system infection occur, further evaluation and management should be initiated as soon as possible.
