What it covers
Conditions affecting the brain and cranial cavity managed at Alimran Medical Center: subdural haematoma, normal pressure hydrocephalus, haemorrhagic stroke, head injury, epilepsy and seizures, cranial gunshot wounds, cerebrospinal fluid leaks, brain tumours, and brain abscess. Each requires specialist evaluation and individualised management.
Symptoms
Vary widely by condition and include: sudden or progressive neurological deficits (weakness, numbness, speech difficulty), altered consciousness, seizures, headache, cognitive decline, gait disturbance, and raised intracranial pressure. Prompt assessment is essential when neurological symptoms appear acutely.
Approach
Evaluation begins with clinical assessment and neuroimaging (CT, MRI). Management ranges from medical therapy and minimally invasive procedures to open neurosurgical intervention, depending on the diagnosis, acuity, and patient condition. Rehabilitation and long-term follow-up are integral to recovery for many brain conditions.
Brain conditions at Alimran Medical Center
The brain and its surrounding structures can be affected by a broad range of conditions — from acute emergencies such as haemorrhagic stroke and traumatic injury to chronic and progressive disorders such as hydrocephalus and epilepsy. Early, accurate diagnosis is critical to determining the appropriate treatment pathway.
**Conditions treated include:**
- **Subdural haematoma** — collection of blood between the brain and its outer covering (dura mater), most often from head injury; may be acute, subacute, or chronic - **Normal pressure hydrocephalus** — abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid causing the classic triad of gait disturbance, cognitive impairment, and urinary incontinence in older adults; treated with CSF shunting - **Haemorrhagic stroke** — bleeding within or around the brain (intracerebral or subarachnoid haemorrhage) requiring urgent evaluation and, in some cases, surgical evacuation - **Head injury** — traumatic brain injuries ranging from concussion to severe TBI; management depends on injury severity and intracranial pressure - **Epilepsy and seizures** — recurrent unprovoked seizures requiring pharmacological management and, in refractory cases, neuromodulation or surgical intervention - **Cranial gunshot wounds** — penetrating ballistic injuries requiring urgent neurosurgical assessment, wound debridement, and ICP management - **Cerebrospinal fluid leaks** — abnormal communication between the CSF space and adjacent structures (skull base, spine); presents with positional headache or rhinorrhoea; managed surgically when conservative measures fail - **Brain tumours** — primary (glioma, meningioma, pituitary adenoma) or metastatic; treatment combines surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy depending on tumour type - **Brain abscess** — focal intracranial infection requiring antibiotic therapy and often surgical drainage
Alimran Medical Center's neurosurgical team evaluates each case individually, using advanced neuroimaging and surgical planning to tailor treatment to the diagnosis and the patient's overall condition.
