What we treat
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Neurology & Neurosurgery department treat?
Conditions and surgery of the brain, nerves and spine — from epilepsy, stroke and brain tumours to disc herniation, chronic back and neck pain, and movement disorders.
What is distinctive about the epilepsy programme?
Town Hospital was the first hospital in Egypt to perform the SEEG technique for precisely locating the source of seizures, which opens surgical options for drug-resistant epilepsy in children and adults.
When should I see a neurologist?
If you have recurrent or worsening headaches, numbness or weakness in a limb, dizziness and imbalance, seizures, or changes in speech or vision. Any sudden one-sided weakness needs emergency care immediately.
Does every spine problem need surgery?
No. Most cases improve with conservative treatment and physiotherapy. Surgery is for cases that do not respond or where there is clear nerve compression — the doctor decides after imaging.
